I am getting good reception from my rhombic antenna aimed at a
transmitter group with a number of stations. However, I hear
static from the classical station that is main reason for the
antenna. For lack of a better description I would call it a
frying egg type of noise. I hear this for blocks of time most
days, other times I do not hear it. I have not come up with a
noise source in the house so far. I am using twinlead for
the downlead and will be changing to RG59 for the downlead. I do
not hear the noise on any other frequency. Specifically the noisy
frequency is 88.7MHz and on 90.5 I do not hear this. I have
also noticed that the 88.7 station will be off the air for an
hour or more several times a week.
Any thoughts on this? Do you think the rg59 downlead will make a
difference?
