I'd concur with Nigel's "10dB less than yesterday". Still some interesting
DX, but not as loud, and domestics seemed splashy this morning also.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
briefly):

Another Australia day, but for most frequencies it was like someone
had added 10db of attenuation since yesterday.

Nope, not on YouTube. You're a bit ahead of me - I was testing the waters
first. I'm wondering what the SDR file requesters think of my answer.their

It’s an MP4... is it on YouTube?
It should be.
As an IT GUY, I never download MP4’s or PowerPoint prezzies... as they can

Ian,
Having had and survived two back surgeries you have my deepest sympathy,
and lots of prayers.

How do you express to someone like Ian McFarland who touched your life and
influenced you in such positive ways? My memories of Ian on Radio Canada are
surpassed only by his passion for our hobby. Truly a giant.
Best wishes Ian—we’ve never met, but I feel like we’re close friends. Please

Hi Colin,

As many of you may know, Ian McFarland was "the guy" on Radio Canada
International in the 1970's and 1980's - DX Digest - and even on NHK for a
couple of years.
He is currently "under the weather" and recovering in Hospital after back
surgery.
Feel free to pass me any thoughts and best wishes
Colin, Nick et al,
I avoided taking the openers apart until I was done dealing with
Chamberlain so they could not blame any problems on me.
I used the Mixture 31 toroids because I already had them. I'm very
willing to order some Mixture 75s.
I ran into another ham on the Flexradio
Exactly what I did with a brand new CISCO WIFI router — they used a 99 cent
Chinese switching supply that was butt ugly across the LW and MW BAND for a 100
yard circle!
Imagine: one freaking wall wart blaffing 4-6 urban properties. That’s criminal.
Anyway - I replaced it with a quieter
Have you tried using type 75 cores? Type 31 is
specified for somewhat higher frequencies than #75.
Also, is the switching supply the actual source
of the problem? If so, is it possible to replace
with a less noisy one, or is it integral to the unit?
best wishes,
Nick

Gang,
I made a video taken from my pickup sitting in the garage with the radio
on and all you could hear was noise. Then as I backed up and got
farther way from the opener the noise slowly died down and you could
hear the station that had been covered with noise. I posted it to the
Some opener companies have different sensor units which greatly reduce RFI
but you have to go directly to the mfr and ask.
I did that many years ago and have had none of that since.

RF chokes!
I replaced my garage door opener with a new unit - whisper quiet.

Patrick et al,
I have found the worst RFI generator I have heard in quite a while. We
had a nice garage built and the contractor installed two brand new
Chamberlain garage door openers. The RFI comes from a cheap, dirty
switching supply that uses the leads going to the sensors at the

John,
I have the same issue here. A really wonderful area to DX the Pacific has
really been downgraded with a lot of noise. I think most is man made noise in
houses. It used to be I could fight the power line noise as Pacific Power would
come out and repair the issues, but with so many

Heard male with "hometown radio 94 5 FM 13-40 AM WCRV? We built the

WGRV website and I'm not seeing a reference to 94.5 FM or "The Team".
Also checked WTRC info. Don't see 94.5 FM.

I guess that you checked whether 594 and 612 were (roughly) parallel
or not, did you Tim?
Sometimes they are, though they can be offset in time by up to a
second or two which makes things confusing.
I can start my own recordings at home a few minutes earlier to
provide parallels for you if
