[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Hi-Z 4-8 Pro

[Lee STRAHAN]

Hi Larry, The simplest thing you can do is disconnect 4 of the antennas on the N,S,E,W  .  Then look at the noise and see if it only stays on the alternate positions. If so the noise is external to the array. I would ask more questions but leaving for the evening here. Make a note of any directionality to the noise. If none disconnect one end of each delay cable and turn the direcdtion control. If any channel is compromised the direction will point to the problem.
More later gotta go right now.

Hi Larry,

Check all the Rg6 connections. If there is a floating shield, up goes the noise floor.

BTW, moved to Cody Wy and been down to 2°F and 16" snow last 3 weeks. Here the winds are high and constant. Wy is the windest state in the union. Only 45 minutes to the East Gate of Yellowstone. Heading to winter retreat in Yuma next week. When back this spring going to look at station. Have 53 acres so lots of ideas, room just it has to handle winds and ice loads.

73 Gunny. Was /W7 but OFFICIALLY changed to new address on the lower SouthFork of the Shoshoni River.

Merry Christmas!!! Semper Fi
