Fw: LF New Synth/ Strange LF signal

[riese-k3djc]

Hi Fred

what have you been using before for LF  ??
and what is the antenna,,, the annoying signal is probably
local and be glad you dont live near a hospital,,, mine is
loaded with switching power for there elevators and other
noise sources

Now that I can listen on the LF Band without bleed through from 80m, I'm
seeing  a very strange strong signal.  It appears suddenly, in the
general range of 250 - 500 Kcs [have to use the most reverent term
around the Holy Frequency :-)]

Palomar LF up-converter ... 0-500 KHz --> 3.5-4.0 MHz.  An awful lot of
stuff on 80 bleeds through on it.

My sloping V, about 135 ft legs, apex at 70 ft, fed with ladder line
down to the base of the tower, 4:1 DXE balun, and coax to the shack.
Works best on LF when I unscrew the shield and just leave the center
conductor connected.
