Dave,
I use my mobile rig to track down such noises (an IC-706Mk2G with a KJ7U
160-6m screwdriver antenna and 2/440 whip). I also have a couple of
small AM and VHF-AM (aircraft band) portable radios when needed.
The closer you get to the noise, the higher in frequency you should be
be able to
Jon. . .great advice, particularly about going to higher frequencies as you
get closer to the noise source. We've spent considerable time chasing noise
at our contest station. I addition to using RF we also use a high range
audio device with a highly directional dish antenna which listens in
if i may quote my neighbor trying to find his 160m receiver noise

Hi Mike, there were four (4) major noise sources:
(1) A wall wart power supply for my Comcast cable converter box and

One of the exciting behind the scenes aspects of the Stew Perry
contest is seeing how the scores keep growing as more low power and
QRP logs show up. Most scores have already grown 10 percent from
their starting point.
The Boring ARC log checkers have decided to open up their books for

Just my luck, retire and finally get to have some time to play with antennas

John (ON4UN) asserts in his newest edition of LOW-BAND DX'ING that the
HL5IVL was on this morning as a matter of fact, calling CQ until about 1300z on
1826 or thereabouts. He was unable to copy me, unfortunately. But SM4CAN came
booming in last night and we had a good QSO.
Could be better, but the band isn't dead.

I would've been another one to jump right on the MEH bandwagon, but after
scanning my log just quickly, this is the DX I worked in the Stew with my
low inverted L 750w (no RX antennas)

SN7,OM5,RL3,G4,UU7,E77,LY7,SV3,OK2,UY0, HG8,RN1,F5,
I use a FT817 set to 1.830 and walk through the house, bringing the small
antenna close to any suspect object to check for noise,
anything can be checked that way lamps,washing machine, TV signal decoders,
computers, game boxes etc.
But alas,the neighborhood noise increased a lot and is making
10 matches
