I recently had an intermittent high noise level on 6 m band and there seemed to be a correlation with activity at my neighbors house. I ran a PC application that showed my transceiver's S meter and remoted my PC desktop to my Android phone with TeamViewer.
Next time my neighbor was working in his garage, and the noise was present, I went over and explained my noise problem. I asked him him to shut off his garage lights one group at a time while we monitored the noise level on my Android phone. The noise was traced to one group of florescent lights and was completely gone when that light group was disconnected. I think it was a big advantage to be able to show him there was a direct correlation between my noise level and his lighting. He agreed to keep that light group disconnected and said he would replace them later. Just a few days after resolving the noise problem I worked Alaska to complete 6 m WAS. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
