/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Climb up top and unplug something when he's gone. He ain't going up.

>>1396272
Call the FCC

>>1396272
Don't be a pussy. Put up your own antenna and start outputting 3,000 watts and drown the fucker out.

>>1396274
The only rule (not even a law) he is breaking is using max power. You're only supposed to use the minimum necessary for a QSO.

OP is fucked that he's getting harmful interference. Several options are snap on ferrite chokes on the power connectors as close as possible to the equipment or on speaker wires as close to the speakers as possible.

I'm sorry, OP, you have no legal recourse and as a Ham, I am saying this guy is a dick. I went to all my neighbors and told them about my station and should they hear me or get static to come get me and I will install ferrite chokes on the effected equipment. So far, I have only had to choke an ancient stereo.

>>1396272
The only option is guerilla warfare. Cobble together a battery powered device that feeds electrical noise into the antenna. I aint no genius but I got a feeling even a modicum of power is enough to scramble his communications.

>>1396272
>He's easily busting 1500W
I sincerely doubt this. If it was that much he would interfere with his satellite tv.

Just out of curiosity how's it fucking up your house?

>>1396287
>>He's easily busting 1500W

The only way that much wattage would not interfere with either of those dishes is if they are both inop, or if the antenna and the dish(es) are never on at the same time.

>>1396300

Thats not a pic of his house you silly. Even if it was. He lives alone. He doesnt sense any disturbance while he is broadcasting

>>1396272
If that's his tower, it's rusty as shit and might fall over and that powerline on the left of the picture is in jeopardy of being hit. You now have a structural safety concern you can call the city's inspectors about.

A working neon sign... remove the base and cut the wires at the glass connector. Use it to make a Jacobs ladder. The spark gap will create interference all across his bands.

Of course electrical devices are dangerous so don’t touch it!

>>1396309
This is why I went to all my neighbors and told them to come to me if I created issues and that I would buy the ferrites or bandpass filters needed to correct it.

>>1396272
first off, I think your lying about everything you posted, you just don't like him because he's older than you, lives in a nice house and has a hobby.

So if anything you say is true you need to contact the fcc, anything else you do would be unlawful and get YOU in trouble.

>>1396272
>My neighbor to my new house is a classic boomer. He has a huge antenna on the top of his house.
Here you are showing your bias for some guy just cuz he's old.

>That thing radiates so much it fucks my house up.
In what way?
>He's easily busting 1500W and said he wont lower his power or go without the amp he bought.
[citation needed] 1500 watts eh? how did you come up with that number? from your ass maybe?
>I hate the feds and don't want to get them involved. So what can I do?
Nothing you impotent pansy, if your not man enough to contact the feds, how are you going to be man enough to do anything at all?

>>1396315
1500 is the maximum legal limit for AR Stations to transmit at in the US.

>>1396317
yeah and who says that's what he's transmitting, he could be causing interference with 10 watts. he just pulled that number out of his ass, I don't think he's even talked to the guy, he doesn't have the balls.

>>1396272

Herf gun, you could easily build one for free with a half-ass of scrounging.

He'll eventually get tired of buying replacement radio gear and stop.

>>1396319
10 watts isn't even going to interfere with a Chink radio held in front of that Yagi. 100 watts won't. My one ham buddy doesn't even mess with his neighbors' tech until he hits 1200 watts and he does that to mess with their stereo when it's too loud.

I know a bunch of Gomers always transmitting 1500. Fuck, go to 7200 during daylight and it's AC1DD, K1LEM and K9RSY just shitposting at 1500 when they can easily hear each other at 50 - 100 Watts,

>>1396309
My neighbor did this once. it ruins just about every single radio device within several miles. Even cellphones lose signal for a few seconds. Very effective and very annoying. Also very dangerous. Its a high voltage open air arc.

>>1396272
Run a needle through the coax lead making sure to hit the center conductor, trim it flush, then put a turn of electrical tape over it as camo.

Protip for those of you installing antennas, ham or otherwise.
Set up the tower, install the antenna, but don't put any coax up. None. Tape off the connectors on the antenna.
Let that sit for a few weeks. Wait for the neighbors to complain about tv/radio/wifi/whatever interference.
You can then tell them to shove it up their ass when you tell them there isn't anything hooked up to the antenna, and hand them a pair of binoculars to verify that.

Then you can wire up whatever you want, and your neighbors will leave you alone.

OP is full of shit.

>>1396272
>My neighbor to my new house

Well, next time research the neighborhood before you decide to live there.

>>1396323
A 12 watt CB will interfere with poorly designed shit of which there is plenty out there.

They do a lot of legit stuff but that would not be one of those things.

>>1396272
>He's easily busting 1500W
How do you know?

>>1396272
>That thing radiates so much it fucks my house up.
This is not possible. Radio waves are non-ionizing, there's no way it's affecting your house.

>>1396272
>I have a problem for a Federal Agency is explicitly responsible for and could solve with one 'phone call but I am such an autistic 'tard I refuse to actually make my life easy and instead choose to ask a Mongolian clay pot forum instead.

>>1396272
>1500 watts
>tv antenna
it would literally be dripping onto the ground

>>1396307
Are finns white?

>>1396966
They're fooking Space Elves.

>>1396534

Exactly, that is just a long range TV antenna and satellite dish.

By law most places allow you to erect anywhere between 30 and 75 foot towers on your property to receive wireless communications.

>>1396978
I'd fook that space elf.

>>1397017
They have nice feetses, too, precious.

>>1396272
That's not a transmitting antenna design. It looks like a VHF antenna. He's trolling you and you're stupid enough to fall for it.

>>1396978
She woud die after a couple hours /out/ in my country during summer.

>>1396321
I like this plan

>>1396286
This - guerilla warfare.

Build a jammer or get a license and troll him or dress up as a gook every night and trigger flashbacks.

>>1396327
Where's the danger to? People? Fire risk? Could put it on a timer and leave the house

>>1397238
Do not kill the Elves. Anna-Sofia is an International Treasure.

>>1396966
Not for long

>>1396272
You could drive a pin into the coax to short the two layers when he keys up.

I've made a 300w setup play through my neighbours stereo speakers. But it had to be tuned to it.

Not sure why OP is so autistic. Just get a small ham set and start flaming him on the air, while pretending to be the 12 year old girl that you are.

>>1396272
>I hate the feds and dont want to get them involved.
I see.
>So what can I do?
Move to a place where weed is legal.

>>1397310
wow, she should be besides Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

>>1397490
She's my favorite Elve. I know this board love the Kiira Korpi Elve, but Anna-Sofia is just cuter to me.

>>1396281
This is the only solution. Squashbox the mutherfucker

>>1396309
Can confirm. Got his by a 50,000 volt sign transformer as a kid.

Touch it to an egg tho. Glows like a fucking lightbulb

>>1396309
Mot Jacobs works good too just not as hv. Use the fan.

>>1396342
willing to do this, but 24 hours later told myself "WTF, I've got that tower, that antenna, and I ain't doing not even a CQ DX CQ DX? c'mon, just five minutes"... ended up pumping kilowatts for hours.
thus my plan failed.

>>1396272
Mircrowave his head.

>>1397668
agreed - detect exactly what frequencies hes broadcasting at and replicate signal!

>>1396479
*still - better be safe OP ! jam signal and get more tinfoil!

>>1396272
did you try shooting it?

>>1396272
AC line to the antenna itself.

Sounds like you should have done your research before buying. You sound like someone who moved in next to a pig farm or airport.

>>1396272
I fail to see a problem.

Is he playing loud music that rattles you? Why does him using 1500W cause a problem to you?

Are you not sure this is just your own envy?

>>1397015
OP's picture is not of the guy's actual house/setup.

>>1396272
What's the material? Can you corode it? Can you degalvanize with hydrochloric acid?
That's my best bet. Fuck it up in the middle of the night.

That or build an EMP and fry his shit.

>>1399524
It's fucking with his TV or radio

Neighbor here, OP is a pussy, faggot, basedboy. OP actually want's my dick but I am straight, so he mad.

pic related it's OP.

>>1399621
Then OP has options of buying a fucking noise filter. Seems pretty fucking clear. Those old TV/radio picking up unwanted noise is due to manufacturers cutting corners and not following the design specifications. FCC has already acknowledge these problems and advise people to take it to device manufacturer to complain about.
