[1000mp] 1000MP Noise and the MFJ-1260-65

[Ronald Walters]

This is message is not directly related to this reflector but I hope that
someone can provide feedback.

Background:  Within the past several months my QTH which was virtually a
very low noise environment now is one of the nosiest QTH's I have ever lived
in.  Birdies every 17 kc across 160-80 and 40.  Some nights its worse with
birdies every 5-7-kc.  These are not low signal strengths either but up to a
S-9+ on 80 meters.
have check with all of my neighbors since initially it would start right a 5
PM and last all night until 7:30 in the morning.  My first thought was an
auto light fixture.  Well it's gotten bad and doesn't seem to be on a
regular time schedule.  Feelings are TV or touch lamp.  Possible PC but
don't know.  Power company is Florida Progress which is a Duke Energy
company.  Have heard that Duke is playing with there new Internet access
over power lines but I do not think it has hit the central Florida market.

Question - I am thinking about trying the MFJ-1265 Noise phasing unit.  Have
read an old review on ARRL and other comments on some bulletin boards but am
wondering if anyone out there has experience with the unit and what their
honest impression is.  In addition to that unit I plan on a complete rework
of the antenna and grounding system her just to make sure I do not have a
poor joint in the system that is providing some rectification and being self
induced.  Any comments will be appreciated.

Again thanks to the list for accepting this inquiry, I respect the expertise
of the this list.  To keep the band width down please respond direct a
