Hello guys. I've been reading your achieves for days but had to subscribe to
describe my problem. On 80 meter ssb, during the day this winter I have an S5
ambient noise level. At night it is S9+5. At first I thought this was band
conditions but talking to others on 80 made me think it wasn't.
Finally, this morning as I stared at the s meter, at precisely 7.54 am CST, the
noise instanteneously went from the s9+5 to s5. It behaved like someone
flipped a switch.
I have located a street light that is out about 450 feet from my house, but all
the other street lights turn off at 7am, so I doubt it is that. I have called
the power company on that light.
I've looking for advice on how to proceed. I'm thinking it's still a
streetlight, or these lawn lights that are all over the neighborhood. I don't
have a portable receiver yet, but may need to buy something to help with this
problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
