Conditions of late...
Conditions were pretty poor for the last month or so at my location,
but they've improved dramatically in the last couple of days. Has anyone else noticed the improvement? Steve |

Steve Low bands are awesome. Talked to a guy in the Netherlands yesterday at 4:30 in the afternoon on 75 meters and got a chance to talk to Noz in "The Gambia" night before last on 75. Jim |

One of the things, here, is that there's a whole lot less powerline hash now that everyone has turned off their Christmas lights.

Speaking of hearing Christmas lights, a friend just got a radio and hears a
contant tick tick tick like a clock in the background. But, its not a clock. ANy other hints at isolating this interference? One of the things, here, is that there's a whole lot less powerline hash now that everyone has turned off their Christmas lights. True even in southern California. It's pretty scary when you can hear the intermittent arcing in some of them. Where's the fire department going to have to go, now? One question, (not really worth spending much time on): Do the strings of lights just act as an antenna and make a more efficient radiator of dimmer noise from the inside of the house, or is there some active circuitry (timers or controllers) that create a new source of noise?

ANy other hints at isolating this interference? If the ticking is very regular (like a clock), it's probably coming from a digital device in his home or a close neighbor. First thing to do is turn off the main circuit breaker in the house to remove power from all possible sources for the ticking. Operate the radio on batteries and listen for the tick. If it's gone, turn the main breaker back on. Now turn off each circuit breaker in the box one at a time, to isolate which circuit has the device which is making the ticking. When you find the right circuit, start disconnecting all the devices on that line one at a time. Eventually you'll track it down. I had a similar problem and traced it to a cordless drill battery charger. It only made the sound after the battery was fully charged. If the noise didn't go away when the main breaker was off, take the radio outside and walk around the neighborhood to see where the ticking is strongest. You might have to question a neighbor or two after you find the area where the ticking is loudest. |
