I should mention the noise level increase is  non -directional.

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
