Hi Rich,

My Monday morning schedule with a group of guys in the Midwest was trashed due to the noise you described.  This was on 20 meters and was 10 over S9 here in Pompano.  I checked 10 through 40 meters and the noise was the same repetition rate and very strong on all bands, less so the higher I went in frequency.  It's has disappeared now at my location.

Howdy,

Since I last operated on Friday, yesterday and today I noticed a very strong noise level increase on all bands 80m to 6m on all 3 antennas (OCFD Vee, AV640 vertical and Steppir).

Noise is S7 to S9 with the noise blanker and noise reduction turned off. It's a raspy buzz -- yes sounds like 60Hz.

There have been no equipment changes here.

Before I go tearing into analysis: turning everything in the house off & operating from a battery, etc, is anyone else in our area noticing the same problem?

Thanks Rich
