Charlie, It seems to me if your friend just wants to make Q-meter measurements he might get by with building a 5-sided aluminum box just to contain his HP Q-meter since he is probably making measurem

Dave, I live in one of those states, also (Colorado). In the last few years I have tracked down 5 growing operations that were polluting the spectrum. The sad part of this is that the electronic lamp

Hi Dave, Yes I have contacted the ARRL. I helped Mike Gruber write the ARRL web page on grow lights. Do you think it is best to deal with these rfi situations one at a time or try to get at the root

Hi Tom, Any number of things could be causing that kind of noise, but my grow light noise sounds very similar to that. It is usually on a timer and has a different sound when the grow light is first

Ron, If you have only one RFI source you might consider nulling it with either a Timewave or MFJ device that employs a sense antenna. They use phase and amplitude to cancel the offending signal. You

It's not a dilemma in Colorado. The only crime is the RFI and the FCC recommends working with the offender. I have been considering offering training to the police to give them the tools to locate th

By the way, the power company was prompt in fixing the insulator causing the RFI. Tom I was able to talk one neighbor into replacing his 12 volt halogen system with a 120 volt system which solved the

Hi Ken, Looks like you are making progress. If your loop is not sensitive enough, you might try building one of mine. The big loop is sensitive enough when tuned to give a good signal when the noise
