Comment on contest NAC 50 MHz de SM1FMT Hi, Something vy bad with 50MHz at our new QTH!! The band is extremly noisy in most directions... It must be a vy local noise but I hope to solv the problem, otherwise go higher in fq... 73 de Janne/SM1FMT Additional Comments: Hi! The awful noise I wrote about yesterday... the source is found and eliminated...! Guess what it was..?? Neighbors...? No! My computer for logging....? YEEES! The computer is a awful noise source on 50Mc even when it is in OFF = mode!!!! Reason: When the 220V inlet is connected to the 220V system it creates strong noise. I think it must be from the rectifying bridge because when I try with = 12V to the DC inlet all is OK. So next time I will be better prepared for contesting at 50mc and sri = to maybe some of u called me without any answer...! Sri !!! 73's de Janne/SM1FMT PS! Computer type: Compaq 486 Elite.
