[Lowfer] WEOH signal plots

Sun, 18 Jan 2004 21:33:23 -0600

Geeze, I will have to remember unplugging the TV's when I do receiving. Do
satellite systems radiate crap also? My sat runs go over the top of the
radials to the dish on the fence, which is close enough to all my antennas.
They are buried though but not under the radial system.

I don't think the cat needs to do anything, Mike; the signal is crazy enough
already :-)

One thing that really looked strange was a series of blips in the N-S loop
trace at about 2053 to 2054, during a period when WEOH wasn't even
transmitting. SpecLab was also displaying the usual waterfall picture, and I
could see a squiggly signal going back and forth across 185.3. Off to the
living room to unplug the TV set, which is another of those wonderful modern
appliances that generates crud even when it is supposedly turned off. The
LEK vertical and the E-W loop are apparently far enough from the house so
they weren't affected. After killing the TV set, the noise level on the N-S
loop dropped 5 dB.
