Question for ham radio operators. My neighbor setup a new mast for his world wide radio.
He tested it a few times.
How do I know.
I got interference on my stereo unit.
It sounded like morse code I think.
Who’s at fault? I was having no issues before this new setup of his. What to do? I’m gonna try to talk to him about it the next time it happens.
Had the same issue once with a neighbor. Would come through every so often through my stereo but even more so through my guitar amps. Luckily it was a very rare occurance.
I know it also happened in the past & my father & the neighbor got into it big time. That was idk 30ish years ago
Tell him what channel, AM or FM, etc, even if he is not causing it, it's in his alley to find out what it is, hams love that stuff 😅
Yeah I’m no expert but I question how he has this large mast & antenna set up?
Idk where y'all are at but HAM operators are allowed to build towers for their own use. A benefit to having the license.
In regards to the interference, I would bring it up to your neighbor, assuming he isn't a twat he should modify his setup to prevent the interference. As is good ethics and if I remember correctly his hobby shouldn't negatively affect others.
Oh for sure he’s definitely allowed to do whatever. He has 4 other antennas. But this one is new.
It’s mast is 50-70ft tall at least.
It appears the antenna cable goes up the mast from a little box then to an anchor point on a tree then to his aluminum fence?
A large cable from inside the house connects to the little box.
That's it? If he's not near an airstrip he could go to 200' before the government would get involved
Within 2 miles of our local airstrip?
Not sure about local town laws either.
I honestly am just worried about my stereo equipment lmfao
He can do what ever he wants, I’m curious as fuck to what he’s got going on over there.
Probably has the wattage turned up higher than he needs when he transmits and this is causing signal to bleed over.
