Even the DNO get it wrong sometimes.

Just recently there's been a lot of clicks and buzzes on my mediumwave listening set up  I tried to trace the cause  checking my station earth an RF earth not mains my areal and all the mains connection but all seemed OK. Anyhow after a few days I found the DNO had dug a hole in the next street and replaced a straight through  joint. I was hoping it had cured the noises but sadly not. About a week later they dug another hole replaced 3 joints in a space of only 50 feet 2 straight through joint and 1 splitter joint I think that's the right name for it. Finally the noise was cured but do the DNO  really look for noise or are they detecting something else like heat or vibration??

  • I still enjoy tuning around although this time of year it doesn't get dark till relatively late so don't get much DXing done, that said I can just hear radio Caroline  on  648 Khz  and of course radio 5  radio Wales  radio Scotland  at nite. Minx radio on 1386 is about the only music station still on mediumwave darker niteswill bring the Hungarian and Rumanian stations  so not a complete dead lose yet. I could go on but I won't unless someone asks for info. I think AJ Jewsbury is right they probably replaced bits until the fault went. I think the faulty feeder come off the same transformer as my house but it's a different cable
