Hi Stefan,

 

I have both active & passive.

 

The interference is there on both & on the passive when the active is switched off.

 

I have eliminated all my own possible sources.

 

Cheers, Gary - G4WGT.

Hi Gary,

What type of RX antenna are you using? Is it passive or active?

Hi All,

 

The interference has just stopped as suddenly as it started.

Hi All,

 

For about 7 days or so I have been getting some very strong interference on the 136kHz band. At first it only came on for short periods (up to 1 or 2 hours) but from yesterday it came on early evening & stayed until early today & is there again tonight.

 

The interfering signal sounds like a buzzing noise on my LF Rx & the visual display shows a very unstable form. It starts from about 137.000kHz upwards & fades towards 145kHz.

 

I have placed 3 captures on Dropbox, 2 SpecLab (showing the start time) & 1 HDSDR showing the extent of the interference.

If anyone can identify this type of interference I would be pleased for comments. I believe I have eliminated all my own gear & household items.

 

Thanks & 73,
