VHF Q? Bart?
NOAA weather is on 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525,
and 162.550. VHF FM frequencies. If Scott was touching the mike, then it was for his VHF FM radio. Please list the AM frequencies. krj Simple Simon wrote: **** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** What you experienced was static buildup in and around the antenna. It probably was due to the solar flares. NOAA comes in on the AM band so it is subject more to this kind of interference.

My mistake. It's not the AM band but rather the public service band.
My point about the interference still stands because of the low frequencies. S.Simon "Kelton Joyner" wrote in message .. .

162.500 MHz from Sudlersville, MD, to be precise.

What do you think? Isn't your mike cord insulated? If so, I wouldn't think that touching it could affect the ground plane. Regards Donal -- |

It's got nothing to do with grounding.
It's got to do with masking interference from static buildup which can even travel across plastic. S.Simon "Donal" wrote in message ... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ...

it was weird. So I unplugged the mike to see what that would do. static
seemed to go away when I touched the prongs on the unit. Where's Bart? "Donal" wrote Isn't your mike cord insulated? If so, I wouldn't think that touching it could affect the ground plane. Regards Donal -- |
