RE: [HCDX]: electrical interference

["John MacDonald" <JDMACDONALD@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robin,

It sounds like the source is cycling on and off -- perhaps a refrigerator motor?
At my location I've had problems with a security light timer.  It's programmed
to turn on a light at night for about 30 minutes at a time randomly.  When it's
on it sounds like a care motor, worse on MW but all the way up to at least 10
mHz.  I unplug it when I DX.

Good listening,
John MacDonald

Hi,

I seem to have developed a bad case of electrical interference in my home,
where I try to DX and was wondering what some of you do about this kind of
problem.

The problem shows up supriously-- I can't pin it to any specific time or
event -- and lasts for as many as 30 minutes at a time. I've gone around my
house unplugging things, but haven't found the device which is causing the
problem.

The only thing I haven
t unplugged is a VCR, which I suspect is emitting some  noise.

I also have a lamp (halogen0 which blows out any attempt to listen to a
radio whenever it (the lamp) is on. Unfortunately, my poor eyesight
requires that I get a lamp which is bright like this one, so it is a problem.

do any of you have suggestions to rrelive / cure these problems?

Thanks,
Robin
