My QTH is about 900 ft. from one of these things. Is there a way to tell if this is the cause of my noise problem or should I just assume it is, and grin and bear it?
At this time, the only bands I use are 20 & 40M, and the noise level on both seems to vary between S3 and S5, sometimes S6. Never lower. 40M I kind of expect to be a bit noisier, but 20M.... not so sure. I realize it could be just summer-time background noise, but at this point its really causing some grief.
I've tried turning off all other electronics in the house, and the only change was two birdies at 14.212 and 14.274 disappeared. I'm pretty sure these are coming from my Internet modem/switch, so there's not much I can do about them, but the overall background noise didn't change appreciably.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Bill
