I am forwarding this request for a local friend, Vic, K2VCO.

He recently started hearing an incredibly wide noise at 1.825 +/-. He can
null it with his 2-element DXE active system, but doesn't know precisely
where the null is pointing.


=== Thanks to all who responded here and off list. It appears that a better
forum to handle such questions is the RFI list.

Vic may have already solved the problem. As he thought about it, the noise
coincided with a malfunction in a UPS. He replaced the battery and it
started working again, but with an RF sniffer he found a very large noise
signal on the line cord of the UPS.

Thanks again.

Jim, WS6X
