Thanks, Tom. I had considered doing what I did many years ago when I was doing phone patching for AFMARS into Vietnam: winding the coax feeding the antenna into a several-turn tight coil and tye-wrap

My thoughts: 1) adding the good balun reduced the radiation from your feedline, thereby reducing the level of RF getting to the furnace system. 2) SOMETHING in the furnace system is resonant...to som

I heartily agree. At that age, we must treat such people with kindness and concern. To me, this is so very unusual that it warrants extensive search and examination. Do you have any one who could hel

OK. My son, Brendan KB7QEU and I went out after lunch and took 8 more bearings with one of Tom Thompson's loops which I had constructed over the past few days. Tom's loop tunes VERY sharply. I intend

I agree. I agree with this also. Trouble is, there are overhead power lines literally everywhere in this area. Yes. I know about those, and have used them, but I believe they require a variable phasi

I had thought the same thing. However, last night, I tried something else which someone had suggested here: I moved, slightly, the position of the last bearing we took about 8 feet further to the wes

I disagree. The sound is exactly what I have heard here, specifically on 80 meters, except that what I hear here is much louder, when it is on. My present main noise pretty much overwhelms that, thou

That is NOT the receiver being tuned: what it is, is the variation in the program material being shown on the TV set. The receiver that is hearing the noise is fixed to one frequency. To me, from my

I am still fighting that 20db over S-9 noise level which is very apparent on 80. So far, I have built Tom Thompson's link-coupled loop, and I and my oldest son, and sometimes myself alone, have gone

Yes. I read what you posted to some site somewhere about that. I had already thought to do much the same thing. I have plans for the attenuator, and I had planned to use one of the very large externa

Yes. I read your notes a few days ago on this. I have done that from the beginning. It just seemed logical to me. I also confirmed it by test: trying adding a turn at a time until I got the results I

Today, still frustrated as heck, I decided to scan the frequencies to see if this noise of mine would peak somewhere: tuning DOWN below 3575 did not show a peak, and furthermore the noise level got L

Would it be possible for you to make this handout available to the rest of us, somehow? And any other documentation you feel might be useful? Ken W7EKB _______________________________________________
