- I have noticed an alarming raspy noise on the lower portion of the 160 band especially in the AM mode of receive. Above 1.9MHZ it is tolerable but in my favorite portion of the band 1.8 to 1.85 CW it

- Don't rule out the possibility that it could be a noise-maker in a home or office near you. Examples include battery chargers (for power tools, mobility scooters, etc.), power supplies for consumer e

- Good luck, George. Sounds very much like the line noise situation at my QTH. Finding the source may turn out to be the least of your problems. I've been trying to get the power company to clean up a

- Charles - like you, I could not get any response / action from the local hydro guys until I mentioned the magic word : 'arcing' ...their collective ears perked-up and they were on it like a hawk. I

- This sounds very likely, especially as the interference disappeared by 1AM. Some time ago I had really bad interference on the band, and I roundly cursed the unknown individual responsible for it. Th

- Yes, "arcing" and "sparking" are both good words to use. Tell them you can hear the sparking (or arcing) -- they'll be there -- then let them listen to it on your handheld AM radio (broadcast or 2m A

- Yep, arcing is the magic word. I finally built an arc detector (QST April 2006, modified) to find problems like this. The last one I tracked down turned out to be located 3 miles from my house. I was

- Lots of people have line noise horror stories to relate. My line noise story is more encouraging. I had a bad AC hum appear on 160 last fall, out of nowhere. I located the source, called the power co
