[K3PZN-List] Help with Noise on 160M - Finksburg Area

[J Sears]

Thanks Pete.. this is looking like a pretty wide spread noise.  Your observations, not hearing in or immediately above/below the broadcast band. I hear it to just above 1700Khz and it also drops off just over 2200Khz.  Wish I still had a mobile HF receiver .. hummm

It is better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

Jim-

I just checked 160 using my 40 meter dipole.  I hear the noise.  It is 
running about S5 to S6 across the band in AM mode, but only slightly above 
background noise.  It would be stronger, I'm sure, with a resonate 160 meter 
antenna.

I also took a portable radio outside and tuned to the lower and upper ends 
of the AM band.  I didn't hear the noise.

We have experience in the past similar noise at various spots on the AM 
band, one of which was on top of WTTR (1470) that upset my wife.  We never 
determined the source of the noise but it was definite power line related. 
We haven't noticed it recently.
