Interfering with noisy neighbour's music

I was going to go this route a few years back; suggest you get a tranciever.. Powerful helps.. make a wierd tape, put it on a tape loop pump it into the transciever. put the antenna Under or near where you think his hi fi is Turn the transciever & tape on, it'll be picked up by his amp or whatever.. & blast out his speakers, ruining his music..

Frank Dresser This is exactly what my OM did in a similar situation. He played his music (which was radically different than the neighbor's preference) very loud at a time that would disturb the neighbor. When the neighbor asked why, he explained why and the neighbor kept it down after that. |
I can guarantee that a HAM would not be transmitting BREAKER BREAKER.

The OF's on the list will surely remember how effective Model T Ford spark
coils were for this task Yodar "Grover" wrote in message I later discovered that the 455 KHz oscillator in particular was amazingly effective in jamming other radios in the neighborhood, especially if they were inexpensive models. Power line conduction of signals at the IF frequency is a truly devastating way to jam local receivers. |

I was working nights, and they'd leave their damn little yappy dog outside almost every day. YAP! YAP! YAP! Anything would set that dog off. I complained a few times, and the neighbors were apologetic and kept their damn little yappy dog inside. For a few days. Then they'd leave him out for longer and longer periods of time. In a couple of weeks he'd be out all day again. YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! I wanted to record the dog and start a long playing tape around midnight. He'd be yapping at himself till dawn. Maybe ultrasonics would set that dog off even better. I never got around to it. I've since moved, although the move had nothing to do with the dog. Frank Dresser |

The way CBers using power mikes and linears were dealt with was to stick a pin
through their antennas' coax feeds. As crappy as much consumer electronics is made, probably a tone-modulated ham or CB rig with 100 watts or so might get into the guy's gear and demodulate somewhere, if there's such a thing as a high gain stage in solid state audio stuff. Back in the old tube days... Bill, K5BY |

A cb radio ought to work too. You could read the Declaration of
Independance, and the Constitution :) I remember being in church one time when a CB'er cranke dup his set. It came across the amplifier system as pretty as you please g. Interuption of the power supply is also useful. "JMBCV" wrote in message et... I have a neighbour who drives me beserk by playing loud music at all hours and just shouts abuse when I ask him to stop.

This worked for a friend of mine with a bass-
heavy rap music lover for a neighbor. My friend lived in a apartment building that had a common utility room where all the circuit breaker panels were. When the offending neighbor started to crank the bass and become obnoxious, he would sneak to the panel, and trip the breaker in the neighbor's breaker panel on a prominent heavy bass note. He would then sneak around the building and back to his apartment, unseen. After playing this cat and mouse game for a few weeks, "bass-man" figured out his stereo was tripping the breaker and learned how far he could turn it up before it crapped out. |
WX4A: So Bill K5BY, did you ever really 'pin' a CBers "coax feed" or do you
know someone who did or are you simply waving your dick around trying to make yurself look like a real anti-CB honcho? I suspect the latter. Wrong, OM. I'd only heard, from other CBers, of it being done. You see, I was pro CB. I even remember my CB call, KBM5321, back when they were issued. Before I organized a ham emergency organization, the Clear Lake Emergency Amateur Radio Service, in the late 1970s, I organized a CB group, the Emergency Communications Network, in the early 1970s. Only one other ham/CBer would join the group. Later on, my ham group and that CB group worked together. Some of the CBers became hams -- and CLEARS members -- because of my attitude. Besides my 2M rig in the car, I have a CB rig for backup -- to the 2M rig, that is. My primary radio these days is a cell phone. 73, Bill, K5BY Licensed since 1947 Extra Class since 1952 Also have 2nd Class Radiotelegraph license # T2GB040061 with radar endorsement. |
Really simple solution....go to the power pole, get out a set of garden
shears and cut ONLY the neutral wire to the house, sit back and watch the fireworks display as things that should get 120 volts get about 20 and things that should get 120 get about 200. The refridgerator motor will stall and the stereo should erupt in a ball of fire :) You see...household wiring is 2 phase..thats two legs of 120 and a common neutral return. When you cut it the loads unballance, putting some things like heavy items (fridge) and light items (stereo) in series across 240 volts.....SPECTACTULAR! One minor problem...CAN result in multiple fires...use with caution....Eddie "JMBCV" wrote in message et...

I had a neighbor in an adjacent apartment whose stereo turned out to be
amazingly sensitive to a 5 Watt UHF radio. Total separation between radio and their setup was about 20 feet. You may need more power or a close antenna. "JMBCV" wrote in message et...

Agreed. Trying something like this could indeed cause a fire. Fires have
been caused by open neutrals. If you do this, and a fire results, there *will* be a criminal investigation and you could end up in prison for arson/attempted murder. If someone gets hurt or killed, including firemen, the investigation will likely be "aggressive." Add to this civil liabilities, plus the large chance redundant paths will render your "modification" moot, and this seems like a really poor choice. "RHF" wrote in message m...
