If this question is inappropriate for the reflector I apologize but as of last Friday I started to experience significant noise (S-9) on all bands from 160 through 15M with the lower frequencies much stronger. I thought that it was due to power line noise but it appears to be intermittent in

Hi Ron, Use a portable HF receiver with a whip antenna and walk around, track it down by signal strength. This will find the source 90% of the time. Take 2 ferrites and call me in the morning... Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, w4lde [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I started to

Ron, as a semi direct answer to your question, as a general rule cable tv frequencies typically are well above hf radio. It is not impossible for there to be interference, but generally it will be some other source. One thing to remember with most cable systems is that the line and trunk amps
