I have determined that I really need a better antenna to locate the rogue RFI
sources in my area. To that purpose, I would like to borrow (or buy used) a
mobile HF antenna. I used to have a Yaesu ATAS-100, but alas I cannot find it.
Maybe it’s in the barn. In any case then I would need something to control it
with (I used to have a controller, too). I tried to locate the sources with the
built-in 12” whip, but it’s useless probably until I get really close to the
source. I have adapters and cables to connect a PL259 directly to the Tiny SA
Spectrum Analyzer. The noise sources have been observed as low as the 40 meter
band all the way up to 15 meters, but seem to be the strongest around 18 – 21
MHz.
If anyone has something I can use for a while until I find the RFI sources or
want to sell something, please let me know. If I need to purchase a mount for
my truck, I can do that.
