Re: [HCDX] [badx] Troubleshooting a crackling noise on my HF/SWradio(s)

2017-10-16 Thread Arthur Delibert
Sorry – I should have read your original post before responding.  Does the 
noise return when you start using the Wellbrook again?  Noise from a faulty 
powerline component often appears when the weather gets very dry and disappears 
when it rains. So you should do more than one test of putting the Wellbrook in 
and taking it out again.

You might get a sense of where it’s coming from by using the loop to try to 
null it out, but that can be hard with powerline noise, because the lines 
themselves can carry it for a long way.  Sometimes a vhf am radio (like one 
that covers the air traffic control frequencies around 120 MHz) with a 
directional antenna can be used to locate the source.  If you can find it, ask 
the local power company to fix it.

The wellbrook gear is powered by 8 d batteries in a battery holder, sorry I
didnt make that clear.   Only thing using mains power is the radio(s)
themselves

Re: [HCDX] [badx] Troubleshooting a crackling noise on my HF/SWradio(s)

2017-10-16 Thread Arthur Delibert
Regardless of how the Wellbrook is powered, a faulty part on the powerlines 
will generate RF energy across a wide range of frequencies and act as an 
antenna to broadcast that noise all over the place.  The Wellbrook will pick it 
up just as it will pick up any other radio signal.

You might get a sense of where it’s coming from by using the loop to try to 
null it out, but that can be hard with powerline noise, because the lines 
themselves can carry it for a long way.  Sometimes a vhf am radio (like one 
that covers the air traffic control frequencies around 120 MHz) with a 
directional antenna can be used to locate the source.  If you can find it, ask 
the local power company to fix it.
