Thank you bringing this out in the open Michael, who knows how many lives you might have saved. The world would be a much safer place if everyone had the civic consciousness you do. Thank you for the kind words but I am truly undeserving of such praise. It is the duty of all responsible, compassionate and sentient beings to point out evil, degeneracy and morally corrupt thought wherever we may accidentally step in it. I have done no more than you, or countless thousands of decent and caring folks would have done. We ALL have an obligation to stop the rot and are possessed of a Divine Mandate to expose the Satanic Vermin posing as human beings. mike |

I am (probably to your chagrin) a pretty old-fashioned guy when it comes to radio. I like the catch to be fairly tough (although QRN sucks). Bruce Like I said, my antenna is 30' away from my computer. I live in a neighborhood with underground power lines and no detectable light dimmers. I can hear very weak stations from Europe that no one else on the West Coast of the USA can get. No one? And you know this how? My K3 was the only 20 meter PSK31 autospotter (out of at least a dozen on the West Coast) to hear a station from Scotland last week. This stuff is reported on a Google map in near real time. SWLs are welcome to participate. It's jolly good fun and boffo yocks. Sure beats trying[?] to hear 100,000 Watt stations from Maine or Cuba. www.pskreporter.info |

Can you give us a few details? Freq, antenna, time and etc? This sounds quite interesting. BTW, you are lucky - My neighborhood does NOT have buried powerlines (in fact, we have more than our share of aerial cordage) and the noise levels reflect it. Light dimmers and other noise sources are legion. Did get some good copy on hams from South America the other night on 40, though - but still have to wait for the sunspots to rise again before the subkilowatt fleas come banging through again. I will say, though, that the newest types of spiral fluorescent bulbs, when new and working properly, give off no perceptible RFI. I am impressed. Bruce Jensen |

I have noticed noise only when the bulb bearing fixture is plugged into the same outlet as the receiver and the lamp was also in close proximity to the radio. I have no dimmers in the house, so I can't comment on their influence. mike |

I am so sorry for the folks who died, and for their families :-( Bruce |
