ARRL RFI Follow-Up
开云体育
Within 1 day of contacting Steve Anderson, W1EMI, he wrote a letter to the CEO of RG&E asking for assistance in resolving my power line RFI issues.
Luckily my efforts to locate the source and contacting RG&E myself?have probably helped move this along quickly.
The bad news is the problem has become more intermittent, possibly affected by humidity and other wx factors.? It hasn't been on full blast for a few days, but at night I notice spikes of noise on the higher bands.? It seems that there is some arcing but not
enough to be self-sustaining.? I'm hoping this isn't something that will have to wait until next winter to be resolved.
I have a copy of the letter, it is probably a fairly standard one they send out, explaining the issue, with my name and address as a contact, along with ARRL and W1EMI's contact info.? A copy was also sent to the FCC.? So it probably will get to the right people
and prioritized a bit higher than it has so far.
With my 137Mhz yagi, attenuator, ultrasonic dish, and RFI mapper setup, and contacts with W4DD and W1EMI at ARRL, I guess I'm now a power line noise RFI subject matter expert.? Probably not an expert, but well versed in the topic.

Another RFI Update
开云体育
As I received some new info today about my RFI issues, I thought I would pass it along as some may be interested.
As noted previously, I believe I have identified the source of my noise to a RG&E power pole about 1/3 mile from my house.? I first contacted RG&E on Jan. 6 via phone and reported the issue, and via certified letter on March 3.? On March 3, I also made a formal
complaint on the FCC website.
Not a word from RG&E since the problem was first reported, now nearing 3 months.
Today I received an email from someone at the FCC, who advised me to contact Steve Anderson at the ARRL (she CC'ed him in the email).? I was aware of Steve via Jeff W4DD, but had been waiting a bit before contacting him.
Steve sent me an email shortly thereafter, and instructed me to fill out a form, for which he sent me a link.? The form is quite detailed, and allowed me to describe the problem and its history.? It also asked for the utility name and address, along with the
CEOs name.
He wants me to create an audio file next time it occurs.? I did send him a link to the videos I made back in January.
The noise problem has become more intermittent since the end of January, but has still been occurring fairly often.? I suspect temperature and especially humidity are a factor.? So it will be interesting to see if they get involved.? I got the impression the
FCC has delegated this to the ARRL to handle and will not get involved until the ARRL has been unsuccessful.
The FCC person indicated one does not have to be an ARRL member to use this service.

Re: John Randall (SK)
That’s too bad. He was a great friend and a great engineer. We worked in the same complex for a while and spent a lot of time together at field days over the years.

foxhunt
this is my APRS track from last week's foxhunt. These points show my approximate? location. I started in Rush and proceeded to the airport area, then around Gates/Chili for a while, then around Westfall Rd and W. Henrietta Rd. and finally to the simulated jammer on Mt Hope Ave. I hope we can use APRS at Mammoth March on August 9th. Jon N2JAC |
