So you're telling me pirate radio culture has a nefarious, much darker side?
Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
Yep, in a big one the sats will be the first to go, and the debris from just a few select birds will end up taking out the rest of them up there I recon. US mil has the ability to fudge our gps system so only they get accurate readings. I suppose them rooskiis can fudge their system too.
One of the urls linked to in my post shows that others suffer from the same effect as you do with that antenna, you may be stuck with it. The other links are to other active antennas that may be immune to the malady your chosen active antenna seems to suffer. Sorry you missed that. As dual gates often have diodes across their inputs it's possible for the diodes to be activated in the presence of strong signals and this will cause imd inside the active antenna itself, in the case of an ambc signal source, it might result in harmonics every 10kc.
That being said, have you tried any ferrites on coax and power leads? And yes, you can use the astron to power the setup, give it a shot.

Also don't overlook the environment, moisture and critters will all be trying their best to get in and gum up the works. Also also the sun might try to make things difficult by heating things up that shouldn't be heated.

Or major war. GPS could conceivably be hacked or otherwise taken down in a major war.

I am using an Astron linear PS with a Rig Runner. I could use this to power the antenna too, correct?
