Recent letters from G8RW describe continuing QRM problems on 136
kHz from an NTL cable television interface installed in a
neighbour's house.
I am using NTL for my analogue cable TV, and have no trouble at all. The
cables (one for radio and one for TV, are within three metres of my antenna.
At least two of my neighbours use NTL's high speed internet connection
(cable modem) and I have no problem with those either. I suspect, but don't
know for sure, that at least one neighbour has NTL digital cable. My belief is
that the distribution is done on glass fibre, with local feeds in coax. All of this
suggests that the installation near Bob is faulty, not inherently noisy.
Bob's next move should be to contact the RSGB EMC Committee (see RSGB
Yearbook or the web site, or phone HQ). This is a free service to RSGB
members and at least two other LFers have already benefited from it.
