I was passing through town last night an found a failing LED streetlamp, one of the few LED models I've seen. Half of it was flashing about once per second. I don't have any Ham equipment in my truck
In my old truck I was constantly monitoring Class C transmissions on HF, USB, pre-amp, no squelch, so I could always hear the slightest increase in noise, for example the Toyota hybrids, bloody thin
I haven't seen those. Here, the lights are independant, 220 VAC, photoswitch on top, ballast/power supply in the head with the light and switch. Kurt _______________________________________________
"I believe the OP was referring to traffic signals and not actually street lighting." OK. I haven't noticed any noise from passing under streetlights, passing near the control boxes, or waiting next
"try AM; the traffic lights raise havac on these freqs. I cannot use my HF rig if stopped at the light " I monitor HF in SSB when driving, if I hear an interesting signal or increase in noise, I swit
"I have contacted Arizona Power Supply/Service on this but APS has been completely unresponsive. And I'm not about to challenge the titanicPalo Verde Nuclear Power structure..." Call the FCC and PUC

"Wow, what reactions!" Still wondering why they just didn't make a quiet one to begin with... Tune the radio, tune the power supply, tune the radio... tune the power supply... Kurt __________________

Can you send me a clean clear recording? I'll listen in from Nevada tonight, keep in mind there are a lot of "ditters" and "dashers" out there, EHFB (Experimental High Frequency Beacons) aka Pirates.
This isn't typical after a rain? In 35 years of radio, I've had noise like this after a rain and it diminishes over a few days as things dry out regardless of where in the country I am. Kurt ________
That is very typical of power-line arcing noise. I have it here. Kurt www.w7psk.net/noise.wav www.w7psk.net/noise2.wav _______________________________________________ RFI mailing list RFI@contesting.
Those are notoriously susceptible to outside RFI, I doubt there is any filtering what-so-ever and the 14 MHz 4th harmonic and 28 MHz 2nd harmonic are close enough to walk right into the receiver. Kur
Very strong in DM09 at 1712 hrs Pacific Strandard Time. I do not the the means to obtain a bearing at this time, but it is quite strong here. Kurt _______________________________________________ RFI
"Ocean Mapping Radar, like CODAR, has a bandwidth of 10 MHz or more. CODAR, has been around since 1981, runs 40W at 30 KHz bandwidth and can be heard through HF on several frequencies any given momen
