We have been operating Television Point to point links across the U.S. for a number of years and have noticed a puzzeling interference on 2.5 GHz channel 8A (2454.5 MHz). The Interference is irregular in form (i.e. doesn't look to be intelligently modulated), it covers about 10 MHz, varies in intensity and is noticeable almost everywhere we go across the U.S. and Canada. Has anybody got any ideas what we have here? Does anyone know if there is are solar radio emissions at this frequency? Any help would be appreciated! --------------------------------------------------------------------- email to UUCP: uunet!mimsy!{arinc,fe203}!vk2bea!michael _ _ _ _ Amateur | VK2BEA (Australia) ' ) ) ) / // Radio | G4NYV (United Kingdom) / / / o _. /_ __. _ // Stations| NV3Z (United States) / ' (_<_(__/ /_(_/|_</_</_ Michael Katzmann Broadcast Sports Technology. 2135 Espey Ct. #4 Crofton Md. 21114 USA Ph: +1 301 721 5151

I always thought that microwave ovens operated at 2460 Mhz but could be wrong. Chances are, its some industrial, scientific, or medical application in common use wherever people are found..... It's also listed as "radiolocation" in part 2 of the rules, perhaps some kind of radar... York David Anthony DataSpan, Inc

Isn't that near the emission frequency for Hydrogen? I remember seeing that note on a spectral chart once and wondered what, if anything, appears at that frequency. Gary
