April 30, 2020, 9:40 p.m. I'm still seeing some "pings" on ATV-5 de Dennis VA FM18
April 30, 2020, 5:35 p.m. (15:37) I just built and put up my own low VHF antenna two weeks ago, with driven elements each channel 2-6. Seeing tons of Ms with it de Jim-T MO EM37
April 30, 2020, 3:37 p.m. Out of curiosity, I contacted CM yesterday regarding any future plans of offering a large VHF-only antenna. Reply last evening stated no. Only combo V & U. de indysteve IN EM69
April 30, 2020, 3:29 p.m. [15:24] Yes, that makes sense. I know the autologger is just being tested now, so those logs were not actually received in PA but rather Shapleigh Maine. If you look at the chart, you can see all the Portland area locals were received (no PA locals). de Andrew OH EN91
April 30, 2020, 3:24 p.m. Andrew, Jon is legit, but he did just confirm that those catches were involved in testing a new setup. Chad is working on a Rabbitears setup for him. Jon reached out to me via FB 3 yrs. ago about the Milford remote setup. He's now doing some work at FOX56, WOLF, PA. de indysteve IN EM69

April 30, 2020, 2:35 p.m. [14:27] Lol, yeah... right. Jon in Berwick PA I'd bet may actually be in Shapleigh Maine. de Andrew OH EN91
April 30, 2020, 2:27 p.m. I'm happy for young DXer, Jon, in Berwick, PA who put up a tower/ant. setup last yr. Overnight his autologger got to Portland, ME 355 mi. Andrew, WOSU should come in over W16DO w/good tr conditions for you this yr. de indysteve IN EM69
April 30, 2020, 2:26 p.m. Ms Plenty of 3z (61.25) vid-car pings bmg S-ish... Prob Cuba de Ed W-KY EM56
April 30, 2020, 1:53 p.m. Steve, I still haven't logged WOSU yet on 16. It would help if we get some tropo, but I think Ohio is the epicenter of the tropo dead zone for the forseeable future. And local W16DO is not helping. de Andrew OH EN91
April 30, 2020, 1:52 p.m. Jim, I've had South America on 6 meters last Es season, but not yet this year. I haven't tried really, but it's still too early. I recall last summer when Es really gets going, it gets interesting. I contacted France last summer, which I think was my farthest. de Andrew OH EN91
April 30, 2020, 1:39 p.m. Jim, I see why you got KOED as I thought that tr would move toward Payson, but it hasn't. From Milford, IL, autologger w/parabolic has snagged WOSU 16/34, Columbus, OH 248 mi. twice this a.m. Otherwise, quite dead. de indysteve IN EM69
April 30, 2020, 1:37 p.m. Andrew have you tried FT8 to South America yet, this season? I've seen the late afternoon TEP has been busy de Jim-T MO EM37
April 30, 2020, 12:55 p.m. Hi Dennis, and welcome. I see you on that "other" board. de Andrew OH EN91
April 30, 2020, 12:54 p.m. I'm going to give 2 meter FT8 another try this tropo and Es season. I'm all ready... just tested the setup last night and got 265 miles in dead conditions. I'm using a 5/8 wave horizontal, which is a bit directional (8 dBi) broadside to the antenna, which is aiming NE-SW. de Andrew OH EN91

April 16, 2020, 2:37 p.m. Is this just a satellite internet thing, or could it also be a satellite TV thing too? de Andrew OH EN91
April 16, 2020, 2:30 p.m. Might be difficult under the current pandemic (and Dave might not know the neighbor very well), but the neighbor would have to have the installtion tech check to see about installing an in-line filter. de Jim-T MO EM37
April 16, 2020, 2:28 p.m. One website said an satellite internet LNB can be causing broadband RFI because it is rejecting *out of band* signals. It requires a filter on the coax to kill the RFI. de Jim-T MO EM37
April 16, 2020, 2:25 p.m. You know Jim, you're right. I've noticed this increase in RFI at my QTH since the coronavirus panic has been going on. de Andrew OH EN91
April 16, 2020, 2:24 p.m. Ultimately, what can be done about this even if you know the source? de Andrew OH EN91

April 16, 2020, 2:23 p.m. It really sounds like the internet satellite LNB receiver is sending out some ridiculous RFI (like mentioned but shouldn't be happening) de Jim-T MO EM37
April 16, 2020, 2:16 p.m. I have noticed this problem too at my QTH, but I've never been able to determine where the RFI is coming from. It seems to peak when I aim the antenna in a certain direction, and the noise varies throughout the day and mostly goes away at night. de Andrew OH EN91
April 16, 2020, 2:15 p.m. Jim, I hear it on the car radio one house eather side of me the people with the dish are north of me the dish pointing south at my house de Dave-N PA FN01qx

April 16, 2020, 2:05 p.m. It's the power supplies in my sat rxs that generate lots of RF crud de Ed W-KY EM56
April 16, 2020, 2:01 p.m. Hughesnet uses 900 to 1300 MHZ, can't see how it could effect low VHF. Time to get out an AM radio and start canvassing the neighborhood de Jim-T MO EM37

April 16, 2020, 12:58 p.m. These 3 kW low-VHF LDs should make DTV Es more interesting. They're popping up everywhere, but just keep them away from my locals! I noticed a 3 kW LD application on DT 2 in Pittsburgh also, and don't forget Detroit now has a 3 kW DT 3. de Andrew OH EN91
April 16, 2020, 12:51 p.m. And WUVM-LP 2 Atlanta, which has an STA currently, 3 kW aiming at 150 degrees. They should go ND soon. de Andrew OH EN91

April 16, 2020, 12:32 p.m. Yes Ed, that's the one, but who knows... it may be doable via Es. It has 3 kW aiming at 200 degree azimuth, and about 190 watts in your direction. If anyone will log it, it'll be you. de Andrew OH EN91
April 16, 2020, 12:29 p.m. iirc... it was very directional and aimed SW -ish de Ed W-KY EM56
April 16, 2020, 12:27 p.m. Hi Andrew... Is that the one w all it's signal aimed the wrong way for us ? de Ed W-KY EM56
April 16, 2020, 12:19 p.m. Ed, I noticed an LD in the Houston area supposedly on DT 2 now. It's KLNK-LD 2/48. Maybe Trip can confirm if it's on the air or not, but I checked the LMS FCC database, and they have a "license to cover" as of 4/6/20. de Andrew OH EN91
