As with Alan and Dave, I did not hear the carriers either. It
would seem to be a noise source that is local to Mal. But Wolf's
report that LF noise from TV sets can travel hundreds of metres
is a concern.

Yes, cancelling, say, two QRM sources, requires two cancellers,
with a distinct sample of each noise source. It is also very
difficult to obtain a large enough sample of the noise if the
noise source is hundreds of metres away. Interestingly, I've had
the greatest success with my noise canceller where the QRM has been
conducted via the electricity supply ('mains'), from a neighbouring
house into mine. Then, there is no problem obtaining a sample of
the noise!
I heard Bob back on the band this morning, perhaps he is now having
some success with his noise canceller.
Bob is indeed having success, but he now needs a pre-amp to
compensate for the loss through the canceller. So Bob has
ordered a G0MRF receive pre-amp. Meanwhile, Bob will be
conducting more experiments to improve the sample of QRM being
fed to the noise canceller.
