I know of two types of noise (there may be others) that typically generate low frequency noise and their sprectra into the VHF and UHF ranges are quite limited - a micro arc inside a transformer and

Similar observations here Paul in my never ending battle to keep on top of the noise situation in my rural area - mainly 14.4 kv distribution and some 25kv 3 phase stuff. Many sources top out above 1

It is unusual for AM BCB signals on a 10 khz raster to produce signals every 5 khz. It is relatively simple to insert a MW rejection filter in a RX ant loop which should alleviate or cure the problem

Well I disagree that gain isn't important. Maybe you topbanders in the better areas of propagation can afford to throw away many db to get a better rdf, but that sure isn't the case up here in mid-no

Hi Steve; Even though I am about 80km from the nearest MW transmitter, BCB IM is a constant issue here. Considerably worse in the winter. I am always VERY suspicious that any crankup towers would be
