1. [RFI] DFing an HF RFI source (score: 1)

I have an RFI source in my neighborhood that I'd like to track down, but could use some advice. The noise source sounds like a "click" or small burst of energy at approximately 1Hz. In other words, I

Kelly, This is not a direct answer to your question but may lead you down a path to the source. My first guess at the source of this problem would be an electric fence, which would be an impulse (bro

Thanks for the suggestion, but an electric fence would be highly unlikely here in this suburban city of 30,000. A more likely culprit would be an electric blanket. The noise I hear sounds VERY simila

Kelly, I had a noise like that in the neighborhood but it could not have been an electric fence since this is not farm land. It turned out to be a device that pulsed the ground around a neighbor's ho

Kelly, FWIW I have 2 evil devices at my QTH that emit a burst about once per second. Both are battery chargers. One is a very common Wally World auto battery charger and the other is a Bell South rem

I had pretty good luck with a receiving loop (the so-called "shielded" loop made of coax). Orient for a null and the RFI is broadside to the loop. Rick N6RK __________________________________________

Kelly: You didn't say whether or not you walked the neighborhood at the same time you could hear the signal using your beam. I assume you did, which raises a question .... If you heard it with your r

Thanks. I was able to track the source down to one of 3 houses using a whip antenna. I'll need something more directional to narrow it down further OR go house to house. The houses are about 200 yard

In my experience, 1-Hz "ticks" are almost always an electric stock fence with a problem, such as a wet post or weeds partially shorting it to ground, causing an arc. However, they aren't band-specifi

Maybe, but in this suburban city of 30,000 people electric fences are pretty rare :-) Electric blankets tend to have 1Hz "ticks" too. If I can narrow it down to one house I may be able to talk to the

Same here. As a rule arcs, as created in a poorly installed fence, are very wide bandwidth with very gradual level changes as receiver frequency is varied. Tics that are band specific or periodic in

We currently have an intermittent problem with an electric fence. However, it is high up and doesn't seem to have weeds growing on it. Can there be a problem if there is a poor splice in the wire suc
