HF Noise Jump - Wellgood Loop / RX-888 MKII
Posted: Tue May 09, 2023 5:54 pm
I have been testing a Wellgood Loop Antenna with an RX-888 MKII. I've been getting impressive results, especially around 5 MHz for the UK Aero Volmets where there is a low noise floor.
But I have a huge noise jump from around 8.5 MHz to 12 MHz which is active 24/7. I've turned off all electricals in the house, used a linear PSU, moved the loop to different locations in the garden and replaced my cable connectors - but the noise jump is still there. It's annoying at it's in the aero band I'm most interested in.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas on what it could be based on the shape of the noise jump?
For anyone interested in more information on the Wellgood there is a good write up here - http://www.merseyradar.co.uk/m1geo-well ... op-antenna
