[NSRCA-discussion] interference

[Del K. Rykert]

Not dis-agreeing with what Ed has shared but I wanted to share another added factor of what happens when running metal parallel with a receiving antenna. From my ham radio knowledge other metal wires/rods can influence the intended receiving antenna as they can become reflectors or directors that influence the received signal. That in turn may cause the receiver to receive distorted signals which of course cause fits for the receiver. It was less of an issue when people ran the receiver antenna outside of the fuse. Now many run them down the fuse in a tube which is typically parallel to the pushrods.  
    Only meant to help the understanding of what can occur when metal on metal noise is not the culprit.

  My understanding is this is only a real problem if the offending wires are all connected in essence making a metal square.  Tail wires on a flat stab, using metal conneters to metal hold downs to metal bolts make a complete square.

  If you used some form of carbon connectors, breaking the square it shouldn't be a problem.  Have used metal on all my 40%'s as well as pattern planes w/o problems.

    In an effort to avoid turning my new pattern ship into a dirt seeking comet similar to my last Oly, I've been researching some possible causes,  I recently read from one source that one would or could have interference problems if when using steel pull-pull cables and installing the antenna parallel to them inside the fuse.  I have seen a number of AC at contests w/this configuration that seem to have no interference problems.  Your  experience, thoughts please.  THX - Jerry
