[IRCA] Possible cable internet noise??

Tonight I took a portable out to the cable box in my neighbor's yard (now moved) and across the street where the main box is and ran the portable right next to the boxes and I did not detect any noise that I could tell. At least no wide band noise. I was on 600 kHz which is fairly clear frequency

Patrick, Congratulations on your verification of WQQK643 Happy Valley, OR. They are not that strong here at 42 miles. At around 84 miles from your location, a very nice catch. Have you heard the Weyerhaeuser station in Long View, WA  on 1700 kHz?     Dennis, Kalama, WA

Hello All, Asian TP's rebounded somewhat from a dreary session yesterday, but they still ended up well below their optimal levels. Several big guns (594, 747, 828, 972 and 1053) managed fair to good audio at times, with 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer once again the best of the bunch

KMON as well as KBOW are common here, but both are nearly non existant at night nulling the West. So it is realy noticable when either are dominant. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Most of the action today was in the upper 900's with 963 972 and 981 putting in the best signals. I've heard better from all three this season, so I can't really call it an enhancement. It's more a case of that part of the dial being less bad than the rest. Domestic skywave splatter seemed

If anything, it was a poorer morning for me. Had to work hard even to find a decent signal on the NHK2 big guns, yet, there was audio heard on 1206 also. It was almost like the skip was coming from further afield, and the rocky spine of Vancouver Island was sucking up the bulk of it before
