Interference is one of those topics every radio amateur encounters at some point—whether it’s something you’re dealing with at your own station or helping others track down.
This section is dedicated to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), and all the practical steps we can take to reduce and manage it.
Topics you might like to post about include:
RFI problems can be frustrating, but they’re also very common—and usually solvable with a bit of methodical troubleshooting. Sharing experiences here helps everyone learn better ways to identify and fix issues, both at home and in the wider community.
If you're new to dealing with interference, don't hesitate to ask questions. Often a second pair of eyes can help spot something that’s easy to miss.
Experienced operators are encouraged to share practical fixes, measurement techniques, and real-world examples of how they’ve resolved interference problems in their own setups.
The goal here is simple: better understanding, cleaner signals, and happier neighbours!
73 and clean signals!
