[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] 160 Intermod

[Tim Duffy]

Hello Brian:

You have something in your array or close to it that is not properly
connected (bonded) - so you have a semi conductor (aka diode). This diode
will rectify nearby strong AM broadcast stations and produce the problem you
experience with your HIZ array.

You must recheck everything for super tight - AND everything close to the
array - must be super tight.

I think you would find that a portable handheld AM scanner would pick up the
trash in the 160 meter band as well - it may lead you to the problem.

You have my phone number - do not hesitate to call me if I can help you sort
this out.

73,
Tim K3LR

Last year when it rained, the Hi-Z Pro would have very bad intermod
problems.  It was like the AM broadcast band was in the 160 meter band.
I replaced all the coax this fall hoping that it would cure the issue. 
Well, it is raining at the moment and the HI-Z is unusable.
All the units are in sealed containers so they are not getting wet.
When it is dry or even when there is snow on the ground there are no issues,
it only seems to happen when it rainy and the ground is wet.

Thank you

Brian, KG8CO
