Re: [BVARC] Signal noise and suggestion on how to reduce it

[John Pate via BVARC]

I am using the same type of antenna. The MFJ 1979. I have mine mounted on my 
metal fence in the backyard. I do have noise but since I got a new radio, the 
filter knocks it out and I am able to get good copies on everything. Check 
things like your power supply and cut the power off in the house and see if the 
noise drops at all.
