LF: Re: Activity / G0NBD

["James Moritz" <james.moritz@btopenworld.com>]

Dear Laurie, Graham, LF Group,

Currently getting good copy of G0NBD in MFSK4 mode on 503.0kHz

Re other activity - I am still struggling here with my local noise problems. 
I am testing a two-antenna phasing arrangement, and have made some progress 
in discovering the reason it wasn't working is that there are two sources of 
similar "white" sounding noise - one being the broadcast TX site nearby, 
while the other is the phone line carrying the ADSL signal. Unplugging my 
broadband modem makes things work quite well, and I can then get the noise 
down 30dB or more by adjusting the antenna phasing. Wrapping about 20 turns 
of the incoming phone cable round a SMPS ferrite core is also fairly 
effective, although it does not eliminate the ADSL noise completely. So I am 
hoping to have a reasonable receive capability again soon on 500k.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
