- 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 __________________________________________

- 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
