Re: Plasma TV Interference (ICom 7300)

Robin WA7CPA
 

Since bringing my new vertical online in my station I have a similar issue across all bands. It is likely not our big screen because it is on very little but the signal at evenly spaced intervals across all bands is present all the time. I have not yet been awake in the middle of the night to check it. With my ocfd the signal is prominent on 12m and 15m, with the vertical it is most promising on all higher bands, less pronounced on lower bands. I have not yet had time to put station on battery power and shutting down house power, though I have unplugged many things one at a time.

I am suspicious the signal is from grow lights, or now, possibly a neighbor’s plasma tv or oxygen. Does anyone know what grow light signals look like on the scope and their characteristics across the spectrum? Any other ideas?

The notch filter has no effect. Currently I have a lot of excess coax in the shack until I get a utility box put through the house. So, I am thinking some clamp on chokes might be a good idea.

Thanks and 73,
Robin

The screen itself is the source of the RF noise that you are dealing with, and there's not a lot that can be done about it, except to replace it with something that doesn't require HV/HF energy to make dots light up.

I very much enjoy listening to amateur radio podcasts while driving. Recently I started listening to “QSO Today”.

https://www.qsotoday.com/

 

Each week the author interviews a leader or significant person in Amateur radio. He has over 200 podcasts already produced. I am trying to listen to them all. I find these interviews fascinating. There are some incredible people in ham radio.

There will be no formal net Tuesday due to Dan's antenna being down but I will bring my Buddipole and set it up for 10 meters with the 8900R. This will be a good chance for club members to attempt 10 meter contacts.  Come on out. I will be glad to help anyone needing more practice with field programming a Baoefeng.

There is also the possibility that we'll want to remove some exterior weeds to make the location more work friendly.


Ralph has volunteered to deliver the donated server rack equipment to the site, but we're going to need some strong backs to get it unloaded and into the building.


Needed: an airless paint sprayer that can be used to paint the INSIDE of the new building OR some rollers & trays; some plastic drop cloth and tape to cover lights and switches for painting; strong backs (4-6 please) 2 gallons of paint (I'm asking to club to buy this and dropcloth at the business meeting tomorrow) TWO stepladders to aid in removing an overhead cable race.


I will be bringing one of the step ladders and a cooler with water for everyone to drink.


There is a port-a-potty on-site, but otherwise amenities are limited.

RSVP ASAP please.


Lets get this done and have a nice space to move the gear into to minimize disruptions.

Hi All,
I just now talked to Herb Holeman, W7ZF. He is donating a server
rack to the repeater effort. It is rather large, about 8 feet. He
is leaving for the DX convention in Vancouver this weekend. He
lives in Bellevue near Overlake HS.  Can someone, please,
volunteer to use their own truck to pick up the server and deliver
it to Cougar on Saturday? I will give his address and instructions
to whoever volunteers.

Thank you.
