Hello Pete,



I found out that 90% of the noise on 500kHz came from inside my own
house.


A lot of electronics is running of switched PSU's and you need just
one of


these oscillating near 500 kHz to get a lot of noise.


I took a small portable AM radio (tuned to the lowest end of the
medium wave


band =3D abt. 520kHz) to locate the noise sources. Use the ferrite
antenna to take


null bearings.


After replacing a couple of 12V switched PSU's by good old linear
ones


noise was down by 10's of dB.


Another source of noise are energy saving lamps. You can locate them
the same


way.

here I have a high noise level and am not hearing any thing
other  than local


signals.

> I was on the Suffolk coast for this years holiday. I only had

TS50 and a 40 metre dipole up. I was hearing just about  every

500kc/s. Its not as though I live in a high density  area apart
from a neighbour


either side the nearest other is about  1/4mile away but I do
have 11kV at the


bottom of the garden which to  date has not been a problem. So I
suspect an


insulator but the noise  is not general it is not affecting HF
at the moment.
