There is a strong, broad, continuous carrier with a slight 60 Hz hum drifting between 144.375 to 144.415 that has been on the air for the last couple weeks. It is approximately 1/2 scale on my S-meter in Northfield and I suspect that it is also blanking out some signals for the NS9RC digi.
On Saturday I traced it to the area of the intersection of Sunset Road and Hibbard Road in Winnetka. This is about 1 mile southeast of me and about 1 mile west of the NS9RC digi. I was not able to pinpoint the exact house or location of the signal, but it was full scale on my HT with only a 1 inch wire attached to the antenna connector and the attenuation feature turned on. I will try to narrow down the source more accurately if possible at a later date.
Anybody have any suggestions? I would also welcome any assistance in locating the exact source of this interfering signal.
