Hunting opportunity.

That sounds like power line noise to me. More than
one

Hi Gordon, 

Can't say for sure about the solar panels. I'll
have to take a tour of the neighborhood with a
portable.

About 10 minutes after I made the posting, noise
stopped. All bands returned to the noise level I'm
accustomed to. 

I would think that would rule out a utility issue
which is too bad as my local utility is usually
very responsive to these things. Would have been a
couple phone calls to get into the que.....

Looks like tours of the area and some logging of
when I hear the noise is in order. My radio play
time is very limited so finding a trend may take
some time / effort on my part.

Thanks for the insight.

Regards

Tom

Tom, 

Needed more coffee...
Saw the video.  Do your neighbors have new solar
panels?
Inverters on the panels could be in play.  Does it
quiet down after dusk?
Try taking a portable radio for a walk.
A Kenwood TH-F6A in SSB mode can be handy both
with the internal AM bar
antenna and a whip.

Haven't been active much of the summer. In the
recent weeks I started
noticing a very broad band noise. 

Link to a video file (large).
www.thdesignsinc.com/noise

There are times when it totally disappears but I
have not spent enough
time(yet) noting when I hear it and when I don't.

I shut down the power in the house and only had
the radio plugged in - no
difference.

Looking to be pointed in the right direction -
power line noise or possibly
neighbors.

Regards,
