Background: Within the past several months my QTH which was virtually a
very low noise environment now is one of the nosiest QTH's I have ever lived in. Birdies every 17 kc across 160-80 and 40. Some nights its worse with birdies every 5-7-kc. These are not low signal strengths either but up to a S-9+ on 80 meters. have check with all of my neighbors since initially it would start right at 5 PM and last all night until 7:30 in the morning. My first thought was an auto light fixture. Well it's gotten bad and doesn't seem to be on a regular time schedule. Feelings are TV or touch lamp. Possible PC but don't know. Power company is Florida Progress which is a Duke Energy company. Have heard that Duke is playing with their new Internet access over power lines but I do not think it has hit the central Florida market. Question - I am thinking about trying the MFJ-1265 Noise phasing unit. Have read an old review on ARRL and other comments on some bulletin boards but am wondering if anyone out there has experience with the unit and what their honest impression is. In addition to that unit I plan on a complete rework of the antenna and grounding system her just to make sure I do not have a poor joint in the system that is providing some rectification and being self induced. Any comments will be appreciated. Again thanks to the list for accepting this inquiry, I respect the expertise of the this group. Ron - W4LDE |
