Hi Jim and group
The problem I had with the rubbish installation of BT was that the router was
OK but the line would see my signal as Noise it being right in the ADSL band
pass. Then the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer or DSLAM at the
exchange would close down to a dribble and stay like that until manual
intervention by a BT so called engineer at the exchange and manually reset the
DSLAM. To get this to happen took many frustrating hours to BT and then to Open
Reach to explain to them that they should have a look at their equipment. It
can take 72 Hours for them to reset. The only thing I could do to help my self
was to ground my ADSL line via 0,1yF capacitors and reconnect after sending was
finished the line would come back up to speed shortly after reconnection. It
took many years to figure it out.
I overcame the very pitifully slow kb/s BB speed and easily RF interruptible
service by dumping BT lock-stock- and barrel and reverting to TooWay direct
satellite Broad Band access via the Ka band bird at approx. 7 degree east. A
service that gives me a speed more that 40times the shaky land line with no
interuptions and a very civilised and knowledgeable customer service all inside
the price I was pay to the over bloated cartel that is BT.
My ten cents worth!!

I'm on the
lookout for a 9505 but most on Ebay are outside my
budget and also US spec and need 110V, though I could always
get a converter.
If the weather
stays dry, then I'm hoping to crack on with this, this
week and get G7NKS to be a bit more QRO and hopefully crack
the T/A and 2000km barriers
on WSPR 472.
That'll be
the broadband gone then! Stefan helpfully sent
me over some ideas to look for how to proof the router
against interference, but it may well just
be a cheapo BT Homehub 4 and it’s internal aerials.
Enjoy the darker
months guys and hope to see you all on MF and LF
With best
regards
