[W5SFA] radio interference?

[Roger Klein]

Brad,

 

Sure sounds like it could be RF interference.  Can you give a little more information about your antenna setup?  If it's cable TV, I'm a bit surprised you'd pick up interference, but it's not impossible.  If it's an outside antenna I'd expect it would be more likely to pick up interference from a nearby transmitter.  

 

I've cc'd the club's reflector to get ideas on how to best track down the source.  If you have a portable receiver like a shortwave radio, you might be able to tune around when it is happening to figure out what frequency the interference is coming from.  

 

Some other thoughts:  does it happen on a particular station that you're tuned to, but not on others?  That might also provide a clue to track down the source. 

 

73,

 

Roger

Hi Roger,

This is Brad Taylor.  I live at Coushatte Recreation Ranch on Nelius Road.  Lately, our television cable signals have been getting interrupted by what sounds like someone keying a mic with static, but no voice.  I've heard of other residents having this issue also.  Does anybody in the club have the equipment to find this kind of interference?

Brad
