A local non-licensed station in our town is creating havoc on our 10 meter nets. We've sent tapes and letters to the FCC but to no avail. His nightly drunken jamming stops all net activities and has forced us to shut down our 10 meter FM box as well.
Is there a schematic for a 9V battery operated device that would produce a white noise signal strong enough that if placed in the nearby vicinity of the offending station, would prevent reception of all other signals? Yes, I know it's probably not legal but it's the only way we can think of to stop the nightly jamming other then physically taking down his antennas which is impossible since he has pit bull dogs everywhere on his property.
Thanks for your help, Jim

Theres obviously the sharp-shooter/marksman method!!meter
No, its not what you think. Someone grabs a decent rifle, and taking
very careful aim, can target the masts, and antennas of the offending
station and take them out. This will at least cost him some money in replacing the stuff. Although it's probably illegal to discharge a
firearm in city limits in some communities. :-) Oh well; it was just a thought!
Keep on the trail of recording the jams, also get a group of people
together and make sure you can triangulate everything down to his
location so that there is absolutely no disputing his jamming practices.
If indeed he is on the 10 meter bands then he potentially is operating completely illegally if he has no license, and if he does have a license
then there is the forfeiture issues along with hefty fines, and possible
jail times for the repeated infractions.
Then local authorities need to be notified as well, and you'll need to
see if there is any applicable local laws against the practice. The
local FCC field office needs to be kept abreast of all activity and
attempts to deal with the individual and the situation as a whole. More
than likely, at some point an FCC field office rep will be coming out to
pay the individual a very special visit. I hope it doesn't turn out to
be another Jack Garrison like case for you!

Yes, Ithe offending station, would prevent reception of all other signals?

Whatever you do, be sure not to draw straws to see who is given the honour od going out some dark night with a pair of large diagonal
pliers to cut his co-ax. miki.

Just a simple straight pin through the coax should be sufficient.

Coax.....why bother. If your going to cut anything, you cut the NEUTRAL wire to the house.
Then wait for the fireworks to begin hahahahahaha...

Well, just for starters, next time he keys up his radio it blows the
finals. Working into a dead short don't you know.. He automatically
figures it's something in his radio, of course, so he gets out his
backup and tries again. Blows the finals in that one also. Might take
three or four rigs before he figures out it's his coax and has to
replace it all. You know, that ole thing about a needle in a haystack, well..... coax in this case.

<SIGH> it REALLY doesn't work that way in real life. a shorted feedline
wont always blow the finals.A fairly smart operator will notice the signals are weaker, a lot of transmitters throttle back into high VSWR's.
AND..if the short is close to a 1/4 wave the part of the cable will actually load up just fine.You see (if you knew transmission line theory) it's NOT a "dead short"..but actually a complex transmission line. DC wise..yes..its a short..but then again SO ARE A LOT OF SHUNT FED ANTENNAS....Modern transmission line is SOLID core...look up Belden 9914 or LMR-400..can you push a straight pin thru that?
Try to learn some real theory.....you might be surprised.- Hide quoted text -
