I'll continue to experiment, but so far not so good. Comments?


As others have said, you should try to attenuate the noise at its
source. If it is radiated, you need a better PSU. If it is coming out
on the PCs AC line, line filters might help.

If the PC and KGO are not in the same direction, some sort of
directional antenna might help.

Of course, the ultimate solution would be to move to SF and get a really
big signal. But there are problems with that, too: I live abt 3-4 miles
west of KNX (50 KW, 1070 KHz) and my problem is avoiding it, not making
it stonger

Yes, I've had that experience with close stations. You can probably listen
to it through the bed springs. :-)

Attempts to shield the AC with the RS ferrite block and a barbell weight
failed. See comment about household circuit dependency in my just posted
responses above yours.

Wayne,
You may wish to get one of those $5 circuit analyzers from your local
Lowe's/Home Depot/Tools R Us (yes, I realize this probably means a
drive to Grass Valley) and check for open ground connections on all
your sockets. I had grounding issues at my home and after getting a
shock while adjusting the hot water in the shower brought in an
electrician. He found many problems such as the hot and return
shorting on the bathtub (behind the wall of course where it can't be
seen) and most of my outlets did not have a ground. Had the house
re-wired and it got a bit more RF friendly - hope you find your issue
and don't have to rewire the house.

BTW, Nevada City is a nice place to call home - if you bump into
Mayor Arnett tell him that Howard from LA says hi.
