Up comes the RF noise floor.... The big problem that affects any AR
operation in urban areas...

I have a dirty insulator somewhere nearby. Rain helps a lot! It is
however a much greater source of noisie than the PC - so I dont need to
fix the PC yet..

A couple of days ago, my power failed right in the middle of a
football game. I just happen to have a 12v deep discharge battery
and a 12v B&W TV. I plugged it in, extended the two-foot telescoping
antenna and, wonders of wonders, I was receiving a very good vhf
TV signal from about 40 miles away. The game went on and after
awhile the power came back on. That good TV picture simultaneously
disappeared along with the sound. There may be a lesson there somewhere.
