Re: [IRCA] Sorry, some of my carriers were local noise

George, another thing that tends to throw up picket-fence interference is a 
group of the "DTV" converters sold by Best Buy and others to folks with 
rooftop TV antennas.

The APEX brand is one such; it can be heard on a good radio several rooms 
away.  Methinks it's radiated hash going up the TV coax to the rooftop 
antenna.

Subject: [IRCA] Sorry, some of my carriers were local noise

My apology for that. I still can't tell which ones, so from now on I won't 
report something unless I hear audio or think I hear audio. I will not use 
my DSP-599zx anymore until I get a better AC adapter. I have powerline buzz, 
probably a little cable noise, maybe I could even get faint noise generated 
inside the R75 or it's big brick adapter. It's amazing how many carriers not 
from stations I was getting within 50 Hz of TA/TP/DU freqs, different 
directions, strengths. I will try to note the tone frequencies more 
precisely during day when they're all fake stations.


I was using a Eton E1 w/8" Quantum loop, both on batteries which sometimes 
brought noise levels down and I think at least reduced the number of 
carriers from other stuff. But they're sort of falling apart now. I don't 
have anything with a 1 HZ readout & get a little confused how to set the 
dual passband tuners when using USB or LSB to get the best frequency 
estimate. I really just concentrated on LW this last season, no super splash 
or IBOC. 73, George S., MN
