This is close to my tester, color is different, mine is green and by Commercial Electric. <http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Receptacle-Outlet-Ground-Tester/dp/B0012DHVQ0> Dale, k9vuj This claims to t
Ken, I've found some really nice copper thin sheet stock at a local scrap yard. I cut it into strips and it makes good ground/bonding material. You might want to check out local scrap yards for it. D
The copper coated rods eventually will deteriorate, I've found too. After pulling them out I've found them speckled where the copper has eroded away and the base material shown. I like the solid copp
I never checked with local inspection when I drove my ground rods into the ground. All I know is what I took out and what was copper clad ground rods were not copper clad after being in the ground fo
Sounds like fun, almost as much fun as watching paint dry on my living room walls. Dale, k9vuj Back to my Class C telemetry frequencies and staring at the waterfall for patterns... Kurt _____________
Ken, It's a prickly problem. I had a dog water dish that was raising heck on 20 meters. The dish was heating the water so I never told the guy he had to get a new water dish because I knew what his a
I too am surprised. Maybe things are changing. Dale, k9vuj Well, I am more than a little surprised: after writing out a formal complaint on the FCC's website, then calling our "local" (Seattle) Field
FYI, my Lifespan TR4000i which I just had installed a week ago is quiet as a church mouse, both RFI-wise and audible-wise. Dale, K9VUJ Data from another treadmill RFI success story. A few days ago Li
I have not found CFL's to cause RFI. I have them all over the house including two in the shack. All are quiet. I have yet to try LED lighting, maybe some day. Dale, k9vuj When CFLs first appeared, AR
I have two CFL's that are on 24/7 and have not had any problem with them. I have had a couple CFL's go bad over time. The base gets brown and sometimes the bulb itself gets loose in the fixture, even
I would replace the router, not the MW. Dale, k9vuj This is a dual band router. It shuts down the 5+ MHz bands, as well. Looking like the best approach is to junk and report model number to Panasonic
I have to add, I also have a dual band router, 2.4 and 5, it is unaffected by our Panasonic MW which is a large cavity MW and very powerful, the router is about8 feet from the MW, the wireless video
Mouser states this part is obsolete. Probably a part number change or a newer version. I did a search and they are on Amazon from another vendor, maybe Ebay too. Tnx for the good info. 73 Dale, K9VUJ
I remember back in my youth in a small Wisconsin farming town electric fences RF was measured not in hundreds of feet, but in miles. They radiate RF for a long way. Make sure your neighbor has that f
Mike, I just did a quick search, there's probably more info out there, but came up with this: <http://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/livestock/production/beef/everything-you-need-to-know-about-electric-fe
If it were me I'd take my vhf AM receiver (aircraft band) along and walk the fence. They have those so called weed burners etc but the problem is the weeds still stick to the fence. Arcing to ground
Maybe the higher power controller will burn off the grass. Can only hope. Dale, k9vuj So, small update. Seems like when it rains or is extremely foggu/humid outside the noise goes down.sometimes way
Yes, that or an Icom IC-T7H (my noise finding rx) which has air band receive and I'm sure there are several others with the same air band AM capability. I just used mine as a matter of fact, to find
AM broadcast radio is a poor choice for hunting power line noise. Best is to use your yagi antenna at the home station, put it on 10 meters and get a general heading where the noise is then get on yo
