I am looking for suggestions to help identify a local noise that I am
experiencing on topband.
It's characteristics are;
- bandwidth approximately 15 kHz
- amplitude relatively constant
- centre frequency seems to vary in small steps over time, no real pattern.
- right now the centre frequency is 1819 kHz, it moves up and down up to 7
or 8 kHz.
- does not seem to be present during the day. At least not this afternoon.
I shut down all of the circuits in my house other than my shack and it did
not disappear.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hi,
I live in a four season "resort and recreation area". Many of the
'neighbors' live far, far away and come here for short weekennds, long
weekends, holidays , and vacations. When the population goes way up,
mostly on the weekends, the intruding noises are almost sure to
increase. Sometimes they wipe out parts of several bands and may last
the entire "vacataion'. Often, all or some of the interfering junk
quiets when the visitors go to bed. I have been seeting up to operate on
battery power during power outages. It's amazing how quiet the bands get
when *THAT* happens <evil grin>.
Short answer - yes - I have a signal just like that here. Probably a few
others too. Ain't it wondeful?
