I am trying to locate a new source of RFI in my neighborhood. I can get a decent direction in it from my yagi, but would like to DF it from another direction to pinpoint the source. I don't know if I

What kind of noise is it, Kelly? Impulse noise from a power system, or electronically generated? In general, impulse noise is best DFed at the highest frequency where you can hear it, often up to 440

I use small loops, for receive...  They work very well, and if you can hear the source you can more than likely DF it. See: http://www.w8ji.com/magnetic_receiving_loops.htm If you are lazy, you can b

I DF up to 950 MHz for two reasons. One, small directional antennas, two, they usually aren't needed because as the frequency goes up, the distance goes down and you can usually narrow a source to a

In off-list email, Kelly has said he thinks is noise is from a grow operation, so I think he has to DF it on the HF band(s) where he hears it. That means loop, so something like what W0IVJ has posted

Kelly and all, My experience has been that local HF RFI is almost always vertically polarized unless you are very very close to it. This means that the null is looking through the loop. My last RFI h

I've located the source of HF interference in the past by getting a beam heading with my 20m yagi, then walking that direction with an FT-817 tuned to 50MHz. For powerline noise, I then pull out a po

Kelly, I can easily hear an S-7 noise on my 40m dipole at 700 feet with my AL loop. With the larger CU loop I can hear even further or weaker RFI. Tom W0IVJ On 8/12/2016 1:42 PM, Kelly Johnson wrote:

Perhaps that's where he noticed it. I hear 60 Hz powr line arcing harmonics to 2.3 GHz at one messy location and no doubt goes higher in some cases. Since he can't easily DF at HF, listen higher, wh

The new ham is going to try one of those MFJ 1025 first, that may help, as the RFI looks like direct radiation from the location, as opposed to being conduction into the power grid.  Looking at the p

Hi Kurt, Respectfully, I must disagree with you here.  I think that is absolutely the wrong way to handle this issue. The Amateur Operator involved has a family.  That family could be put in actual,

I also agree that what Kurt is suggesting is absolutely the wrong approach. And I also believe that it's wrong to assume that the grower is a "bad guy." Some may be, but many may not. I've known some
