[PPRAANet] RF Noise

[DickT-W0RAA]

Hi Jim,

I'm glad to hear that you got the problem resolved.  It's great to hear the 
neighbor responded in a positive
manner.

Hope to work you in the CQ WW RTTY contest this weekend.

Hi,

About a month ago I asked on the reflector if anyone could help me with an 
S9+ noise on the amateur bands. I received several helpful replies for which 
I am thankful. Jerry Van Derf (sorry if I misspelled your name Jerry) 
suggested I contact the Colorado Springs Utilities. With their help, I was 
able to locate the source of the noise to a neighbors house. Jim Rader, Jim 
Bishop and Virgil Yost helped me work with the neighbor to isolate the 
problem. Apparently the problem was a door bell transformer which the 
neighbor has since replaced. He said he had been hearing a buzz in his house 
since about the time the RF noise started. The buss was from the 
transformer.

So the RF noise has been gone for about a week and a half. It sure is nice 
to be able to listen to the bands and work stations without having to 
contend with an S9+ noise. My thanks again for all the help.

73,

Jim, W0EM
