You might want to get your hands on a cheap portable shortwave and check for these sources. You could have a problem from electrical wires. Also computers, tv's, etc. in adjacent apartments are potential sources of interference. Try to find the most quiet spot to erect an antenna. Cheap SW radios have a nasty tendency to be easily overloaded by high level VHF signals (such as TV and FM eminating from the ESB, in most likely direct line-of-sight from his building.. ) I thought he mentioned the cheap radio to check for any sources causing RFI. *{?} The problem is that a really cheap radio will create it's own interference sources through overloading and IM. Tell ya what... if he wants it, I have a little 9 band pocket radio I'll send him. That's a cheapy that if it does nothing, it can be tossed in the bin and fogotten. If he can hear any SW on it, then he'll for sure be able to hear it on something like the Sony. Ha!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Not too hard to make you laugh! :-D |
