Hello all,
I am in the process of putting up a 2M repeater on what I would consider a
pretty vacant site. There is only one other machine (70cm Repeater) currently
out there. My concern is with an AC (60Hz) buzz that comes across on the VHF
band. It doesn't have a signal to it that will key uip a radio, but when you
receive an actuall signal you can here it. We have heard this on both handhelds
and mobiles. This site is unique as it is a duel tower with old
(unused)Microwave panels and drums on the bridge at the top of the two towers.
The microwave equipment is no longer hooked up. We have had the power company
totally unhook the power to the site and the buzz was still present. The
nearest high voltage lines are about 1.5 to 2 miles away. You can not hear the
buzz on any AM reciever. Does anybody have a clue as to what this could be and
what we could to do prevent it? We have some thoughts on the grounding of the
guy wire being a cause but we are unsure of that. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks
