<DIV>Members,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have looked at the inputs and outputs of all of the repeaters. The only
noise I have found is an pulsating AM signal that is vertically polarized
(heading of 100 deg. from my house) and on the frequencies of 144.765 to 144.795
(approximately 30 KC’s wide) . The input of the .41 repeater is 144.810.
The skirts on the AM signal are wide enough to get into the input range of the
repeater. The signal has a very large vertical component and almost no
horizontal one (5 to 9 S units V and 3 S units H).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If anyone has a vertically polarized rotatable beam antenna on 2M you could
verify this and add another point on the direction. Attached are two
pictures of my dial and S meter along with a video so you can here the sound it
makes. You can check it’s level and sound with just a vertical
antenna.</DIV>

<DIV>Have fun finding it and PLEASE give me a report on what you find. </DIV>
