 Q: What mode are you using to note 'hiss'?
Can I ask whey you hear in AM mode, IOW, 'envelope detection' mode (vs say, SSB)?

 Dear friends,

What are some sources of wideband hiss?  I'm talking about an unstructured,
apparently unmodulated many-dB increase in the noise floor across the 2m
band*  No associated birdies or other noticeable signals, just a nasty hiss.
I see it in the direction of high-voltage power lines 2km away and also
toward a couple of houses I just a few hundred meters distant.  The
mechanisms of those sources are not necessarily the same of course.  Ideas
welcome.

Best regards,

Michael

 

*I don't know whether it affects other HF or VHF bands.
