- No, I meant _besides_ the car :-)
-
- I read this in QST but I'm gonna go for it anyway. How can they

- >Why is most man-made noise vertically polarized?
-
- (quick-and-dirty explaination follows):
- It's mostly a function of how the noise is actually measured. That is,
- most man-made noise measurements of interest take place very near ground
- level (in a building, car, etc.). Since you're low to the ground, and the
- earth is a fairly good conductor at low frequencies (HF), the horizontal
- component of the noise electric field gets cancelled out due to the
- boundary condition imposed by the earth (same physics as vertical electric
- fields reflect without phase reversal, but horizontal ones phase shift 180
- degrees). So in the process of observing these noise fields, only the
- vertically polarized ones exist at the measurement points.
- If you went up in the sky and measured the same quantity, you'd find both
- polarizations.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I received my no-code Technician license yesterday (took only six
- weeks). Now I need a radio (and to learn CW).
-
- I don't know where to start. 2m handheld? A multiband base station for
- the home (listen, learn, copy CW, etc.).
-
- Only limit is money. I need to get into the hobby as inexpensively as
- possible. If you have advice or maybe a "deal" on a good piece of
- gear, please send me email: jjacobs@uswnvg.com

- 73, Thanks,
