Staticie Frequencies When no clouds in the sky

[Cobra_Commander]

I have staticie frequencies whenever the sky has no clouds in it what so ever and then at night they are all clear again does anybody else have this problem with clear days? :?:

Static can be caused by a lot more things than storms. Wind, electronics, and electric lines to name a few sources. Actually, electric lines can be more of a problem in dry weather.

yea there's probably no tropo ducting going on.

At night things always tend to clear up.

"Static" on FM systems is most likely due to low signal level that to high noise (real static).

Your path loss is lower at night (Obviously).

The path loss is lower at night? On average, I've never noticed that signals were STRONGER at night. Maybe they were more CLEAR due to lower noise, but never stronger. Anything I've heard at night, I can hear during the day.

Of course, tropo ducting and the like aside, but that can happen any time of day.

His path loss.

How do you tell a "stronger" signal from a "clearer" signal?

Stronger signals have bigger muscles. Clearer signals anunciate. :roll:

Couldnt help that.

Stronger is higher signal strength - usually measured on an S-meter.

Clearer is the absense of noise - electrical noise - atmospheric noise - pulsar noise (on the higher frequencies) - solar noise - digital artifacts, Etc.
