Title: Weird signal received on my ham radio(s)
Post by: km4gig on August 03, 2017, 08:01:09 PM

Here's something weird. A while back my daughter bought a device that cures "gel" nail polish using LED light. Weird right?
anyway, the night she bought it I started getting a click tick click tick click tick click tick click tick click tick in my radio on every band, both antennas and every HF radio I could find. Anyway, I tracked it down to this nail dryer thing and as soon as I unplugged it the noise stopped. The noise happens when the device is just plugged in and idle. When the button on it is pushed, the LEDs light up for 10-45 seconds and the click goes away for that amount of time.
