Gentlemen.

I have a Drake 1000 Low Pass-1000 watts below 30 MHz, attenuation better than 80 db above 41 MHz. At times I will come thru my T.V. speakers & picture, but not all the time, I have hooked this filter up directly to the back of the radio when the TVI is happening and the filter does nothing. This is on regular TV antenna on CH 5 and 4.



Next question; I am also on a Dish system which the dish is located about 8 ft from the tower. There are times that when I turn the rotor to move the beam the signal is blocked out on the dish. I am thinking maybe RF is coming from the rotor and causing this problem. I have three ground rods off of each leg and # 2 bare cooper wire plus a continuious wire connecting all three rods. I do have sandy soil, so maybe I am not getting a good ground. What you think?
