Topband: Noise sources in general

[daraymond at iowatelecom.net]

Hi Bruce. . you must have the luxury of having noise that can be nulled that is not in the direction of the desired DX!  That is often not the case.  It is not infrequent to have multiple noise sources coming from many directions. . . sometimes to the point that they cannot even be localized and identified in which case the Topband DXer is pretty much SOL. . .hi.     73. . .Dave, W0FLS

Yes, basically true, but in my case most of the noise is coming from one direction. 


Antennas with deep nulls have allowed me to work DX.

Also use a MFJ-1026 to help with nulls.



We are drifting toward more noise in the world not less, with human population increases. We all need to live somewhere.

If only we could live noise free.

  When I moved here in rural Belfast Maine, year 1990, I only had three close 
  neighbors. As time has gone on, have new single house neighbors, then the 
  city okayed a low-income housing development. Have from 24 t0 32 families 
  within about 500 feet. Noise you bet, too many to correct. Inhabitants keep 
  changing. Good antennas are the only solution so far.
