When I lived in California I had a 80/160m inverted L in which the horizontal part passed over the house. There were alarm wires running through the attic, and when I first tried it I actually vaporized a terminating resistor at one of the windows. Those wires were quite long and possibly resona

I would expect that if it was getting into an alarm system, the alarm would fail in some way. I had a bad problem with mine, cured by a 5th order 200 kHz lowpass filter where simple ferrites and caps did not work. The alarm system has low frequency digital data. I built it with some caps and a few

Hello again folks Thanks to all for the suggestions and hints to what this problem could be. Tests have been done at 2 locations; my own home station and here at another property ( work in progress as we politely say..) about 125km south of Auckland. The same second harmonic garbage is heard

Hi folks slightly off topic running 2 x K3 80 and 40 meter cw. Separate antenna about 50 meters apart. 100 watts. Power supply 14 volt dc via batterys + dc charge. The 80 meter second harmonic is very strong. No surprise so have done the usual 80 meter band pass filter and quarter wave stub F
