Subject: [Repeater-Builder] WEATHER
RELATED STATIC
Let's talk about static! Hi everybody!
I'm experiencing high static levels in our repeater that appears to
develop ahead and during serve weather outbreaks. Other times it seems
perfectly fine.
Could be precipitation static? Wind bouncing the antenna
around? Internal grounding problems?
A couple of weeks ago we found that water had gotten into the 1/2
hardline (Andrew) We replaced the heliax, and have a great standing wave on
the antenna and are looking for some ideas on this.
What do we got? 40 watt Micor Repeater, 4 pole antenna (yes,
its getting old)! SCOM 7K, Sinclair hybrid ring duplexers.
Any Ideas? Have any questions?
Thanks All!
Brian, WD9HSY
