[Ray Lalleu]

Hi,

Bad news here, bad new local noise growing and growing on 48m, worst on 76m, soon I would find it HUGE on LW and MW, 24h a day, and coming from my 'uncooperative' neighbour. That noise stood for more than a fortnight, till a major ISP here sent a strong raid to identify the culprit because several Internet users had lost their ADSL link. The commando found the same location, and that noise was coming from a failing cable TV subscriber box with bad power supply. Since that, one more Internet user neighbour has switched to the CATV company: that sounds like an unfair competition as such CATV box failures are quite common (it already happened in the same house 3 years ago).

Bad news here, bad new local noise growing and growing on 48m, worst on 76m

Here is the same, Ray. 43 mb is completely killed by noise now. Even antenna phasing doesn't help. One solution for me: outdoor DX-ing with portables.
