Kinda looks like you've been hit by the BPL monster. I live within 75
feet of Taylor University's library-where all the computers are. On
nights when the students do home work at the library, my HF-225 goes
thru the same throes. The students summer vacation is my DX time now.

Well, there's been no mention of BPL here. No big announcements,
nothing. I SUPPOSE it could be computer related, since my PC is in close
proximity to my rx and is on while I'm listening. I have an ethernet
setup that was just recently installed, and this is my first time
listening to SW since I got the ethernet installed and started leaving
my PC on all the time, so I suppose it could be something to do with the
PC or the ethernet. I'll turn off my PC and unplug the network cable
tonight and see if that helps. By the way, most schools have an ethernet
setup, not BPL.

Haven't checked in the daytime. Last time I checked 11 Mhz band, it was
totally dead. This was around 2000 UTC. I did notice a LOT of birdies
however, which I attributed to my computer. It seems that I'll have the
Yaesu go dead, I'll turn it off and unplug it for 15 minutes, then it
will be fine. I haven't noticed any similar problems on my Degen.

Does the radio have a little battery in it? Sort of like a little round
digital watch battery similar in computers.Looks like some sort of a hit
and miss thingy.
