1. [RFI] Ambient Noise Levels (score: 1)

In the morning (let's say 7am local time) my "ambient noise" on 40 meters is about S0 to S1. In the evening (let's say 10pm local time) it is S4 to S5. Normally, 14Mhz and up tend to behave the oppos

If you are not local noise limited, noise on lower bands (below 40) always goes up at night. Above 40 if you are not local noise limited, noise goes up when the band is open in the direction of the

I didn't know that low bands behaved like that. Thanks for the info. This is a relief. Now I don't have to go scouring the neighborhood to find the source of my increased noise level at night :-) ___

Yeah, it probably is "atmospheric" since everyone seems to attribute the 'blame' that way (but I would ask you or anyone else to cite me "studied work" on the subject to support that contention.) Cha

I agree with Tom -- it's noise from far away, propagated just like any other RF signal. When 6M is open, for example, I hear birdies that I don't hear when it isn't. And during a major blackout not l

Jim, Are you saying that you hear power-line (and other non-intentionally generated, incidental) 'noise' (like blenders, brush-type drill motors and the like) originating from far away, e.g. hundreds

Not sure it's pertinent here, but I also have high white noise levels (S4 to S6, sometimes more, sometimes less) on 40m with a trap dipole (10, 15, 20, 40m) up 40' in the middle. And I'm located far

Yes, and this is exactly what W8JI is saying too. When noise is generated, it can cause current to flow in a wire, and that wire will act as an antenna, just like any other wire carrying RF current.

I HAVE heard brief, slow rises and falls of broad-band white noise several times in the last couple of years on 10 Meters; the first time I thought the rig had experienced some sort of 'issue'. The n

The sun certainly can cause noise that we hear above 10-15 MHz or so, as we can also hear accumulated noise from other galactic sources. All it takes is a low terrestrial noise level and very low io

I did planetary and solar radio astronomy in the 1970s. This was done at HF and low VHF -- 7 to 80 MHz -- using a pair of large corner reflector antennas mounted on circular railroad tracks and confi

The noise level is killing ham radio for me. I live on a small lot with several large trees and can only find room for a vertical antenna. My noise level on 20M this morning is S6/7. It rarely drops

Just as an anecdotal side note, a homebrew shielded loop for 75M was the only thing that kept me operational on the band last year. I had a "Toy-Boy" neighbor who simply _had_ to have every piece of

Which only means a loop has a null that can be positioned to single direction noise sources. It doesn't mean the shield actually does anything. It doesn't mean the loop is "magnetic". 73 Tom _______

Unfortunately there is little HF radio astronomy going on these days other than some solar observations. But there is still a fair amount of atmospheric science remote sensing in this frequency range

What sort of noise? There are many types, many sources, many sounds. If it is power line noise, you might be interested in www.powerlinenoise.com (my site). If unsure of what type of noise, look at m
