I am looking for a handheld DF unit capable of reasonable directivity on 40M. I have excessive (+10 dB/S9) power line noise centered near 7 MHz but the noise is not very detectable at VHF/UHF. I real

A small shielded loop, with/without a sense antenna would work. If you have an AM receiver for VHF and a small beam that you can carry you can try a survey of the power lines to see if you can find i

Yes, do try a small shielded loop. Here's one design that works fine on my VR-500 receiver: http://people.delphiforums.com/KA5S/the%20coax%20loop.JPG It can be made with three or four RS parts (as lo

The fact that you cannot rcv it at VHF indicates the source is some distance away from your station. It's either being conducted via lines to your vicinity or it's just far enough away to be out-of-r

For MW and HF DFing I use a AM/FM/SW Sears portable radio (we're talking a beast that takes 4- D cells here) that uses a long internal ferrite loopstick for the AM Broadcast and 2 - 6 MHZ SW bands. T

No, it does not make that assumption at all. Not sure where you got that from. It makes the assumption that the noise travels FARTHER from the source on lower freqs than at higher freqs. You must be

The FM broadcast wouldn't be affect on an FM radio since noise is "Amplitude" in nature. FM rcvrs won't pick them up (usually, although some rcvrs may). Most powerline noise sources, when you are in

Jim, This has drifted far off from where the original question was, which was how to make/use a loop on 40 mtrs to track noise. I was simply giving some "general" guidelines from my experience and th

I bought a $30 Radio Shack VHF aircraft radio receiver for the purpose. It is AM, not FM, and works very well. I can track noise down to the exact pole. But the problem I have is travelling along th
