[Lowfer] VLF in Friendsville last night - OFF LIST

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi Dex:

Sorry so long to reply.. I am at work today, so have some time in front of the keyboard..

I could locate a loop, which I happen to have.. a Wellbrook 3 foot loop, and put it about
80 feet away from the nearest power line.. but it would be totally surrounded by trees
if that matters for a receive loop ?? The loaded 160 meter dipole picks up lots of " stuff "
it is certainly not discriminatory in any way.. It lets the noise come thru just as it does
signals ... hi - hi

My family is constantly dragging in some new toy with it's wall wart QRN generator,
and it is a never ending battle against the noise.. Interestingly for me anyway; the
lower I go in frequency, I now notice QRN from my washing machine, and HVAC unit !!
I can hear the spark when the thermostats in the dryer kick in and out too...

I wonder if 32 GHz would be any quiter ?? ... lol

 Andy,
 
 What is the most distant point from your home
 and power lines that you 
 could locate an
 antenna?
