Program:  A New Approach to Locating Power Line Noise (and other RFI)

Presented by:
Jeff W4DD


   
High voltage arcing on power poles typically results in strong buzzing that makes any radio reception difficult or impossible.  Efforts by hams to locate specific sources of this RFI have usually been by listening to the car radio while driving around, or by rotating directional antennas, and often a combination of both.  Jeff, an electrical engineer and software programming expert, has developed a new method of locating power line noise that allows one to see the visual evidence pinpointing sources of power line noise using GPS and satellite mapping.  It has been highly effective in enabling power company resolution of noise.  An excellent power point presentation with time for Q&A.
