What frequency is that fluorescent lighting on? can you say Hash? I'm sure he can. He's probably smoking it. dxAce Michigan USA Now, I'm going to do a Cuhulin mindless ramble here....... A neighbour appeared on my back doorstep one evening a year ago and started verbally abusing my wife for the interference to her television ever since we moved it. She was going to get someone to track it down, it had just started again a few minutes ago and it was ALL OUR FAULT! I was still driving home at the time, my gear was off so it wasn't me. When I got home, I grabbed my trusty FT817 and started sniffing. Lots of crackling, arcing noises, peaking on high band VHF, but a problem all the way down to 80m and below. I had always considered it an arcing insulator and so I just lived with the problem. I tracked the fault down to the streetlight in front of my house. It was arcing and flickering and there was a static crash every time. I wrote a love letter to the neighbour that I had tracked the noise down for her, and gave her the report number from the electricity company. The lamp and housing was replaced by noon the next day. Next evening at 7:10pm, the street lights came on and it was all quiet. Ahh bliss. All my low band problems solved. Her TVI problems solved. Has the bitch said a word to me since? No. Brad. |
