Hello Mary W?AAT and fellow Amateurs,

I normally don’t get on here all that often, but been on the NLRS email reflector for some years now. I’ve been into Fox hunting for many years. I thought I might be able to try to help here if I can.?

If other hams are hearing stuff send me an email directly to me at KB0DCO@... or REPLY here at NLRS. The more data I can get from other hams, I will try to compile the data on this map using CalTopo. It is a live link till I delete the map. ( screenshot below.) To try track down man made noises. Either being made by industrial machines or a person who is interfering with ham radio communications.?

On this map, I’ve made a custom colors elevations on the map. It’s something I’m using to study the terrain a bit better. Anyone can turn items on and off in the columns on either side of the map. At this time, I believe I’m the only one that can add/edit this map. (Let me know if you are able to.)

So after seeing your message, I thought this was interesting to me because I’ve also heard something stop my radio scanning on 144.200 from my location from time to time. But not enough to have a significant signal reading here in Stewart using a 5/8 wave mag mount antenna inside my apartment.

For those looking to help and make reports… By having a beam antenna and reporting the degrees from your location, plus a signal strength level. If you are a mobile station driving down the road with a vertical antenna… Just give your cross streets with a signal report. Then at a later time, someone can go investigate from those locations that you were in.

A Report Example:

Station Reporting: (KB?DCO Thomas)

What was Heard: (FM Carrier)

Receiving Frequency: (144.200)

Signal Strength: S9 +10 Db

Cross Streets and City or County Location: (Hwy 212 & 41, Carver Co.)
