[RFI] What I use to find Interference Sources

[Ed K0iL]

Charlie, 

In southeast Nebraska, RFI complaints from non-hams include cable TV
companies/customers, FAA, and telephone customers who are ignored by their
telephone companies, and finally a few AM radio listeners.  Oh, and a garage
door owner was a new one last year!  We determined it might be a grow light
in the area, but it went quite right after we found the house with the
source.  

Over the last few years the Cox Cable complaints are more frequent than ham
complaints, and the RI techs prefer the Cox complaints the best because
their techs have already narrowed it down to the pole for us.  All we do is
determine the hardware to be replaced.

Frank,
 
Good info on your equipment.  Thanks for sharing!
 
Got a question RE:  "I chase mostly power line sources. 
But the utility is blamed for all kinds
of interference ranging from peculiar high pitched sounds to odd beeping,
warbling, rushing, popping, burping, swishing and other sounds from 10 Hz to
150 MHz." 
 
JOC, besides us Hams, who complains to the utility....
maybe the public trying to receive AM broadcast or....?
