Keep doing what you were doing, but expand the search area until you can get
it on vhf. If its s9 across all of hf it must go higher also. does w2irt
have anything rotate able on 10m or higher to see if there is a preferred
direction to start in?

Subject: [RFI] Chasing RFI
Hi Gang,
OK, some questions on chasing some RFI
A few weeks ago, my friend Pete (W2IRT) started getting really NASTY RFI
- broad band (you can hear it from 160 up to around 10m) on his home rig,
and it is S9+
Yesterday, I went over there with my Tecsun 660, and started looking.
First the good/bad news, powering off the house made NO difference (did
find a small secondary source of a particular peak, but..)
Anyway, I found (based on antenna) that I was best off starting on 40m,
and started walking, and in one direction it seemed to get louder (but NOT
necessarily move the S meter more) - got to one area where I could finally
hear it on 28Mhz (AM) - with the antenna UP, but not extended, right near
a pole with LOTS of disconnects and other 'stuff'
up top, but when I went back later, I could NOT pick up the signal there
on 28, but could on 21Mhz. I never got to the point I could hear it on
Air band
Now Pete has had to call PSE&G once before, they came out, waved a small
handheld around for about 5 mins from his property, and announced
"Not our gear" and left. As it takes months for them to respond, we want
to get to the point where we can get a lot closer
Any ideas how to proceed from here?
(BTW, the signal shifts somewhat with wind gusts - can make an 2 unit
difference)
