noise on radio during the day **SOLVED**
#67

this is solved................................

Me- in the garage
wife- turns on the hot water for a shower

me- i hear a buncha static on the radio but its evening and the SUN is almost down.............
I run upstairs and holler,, "hey you,, what did you just turn on?"
wife- nothing,,  i just now got in the shower. 

later on..........
wife comes out to the garage and says  "can you come look at the the thermostat in the bathroom,, sometimes it buzz's and i have to hit it to make it stop.

me-  im like really, how long has this been happening?  and why havent i noticed........

wife- i guess now a couple years,,  dono,, maybe more , it does this once in a while though and i think its been doing it for a long time.

me- why didnt you say something
her- i did a long time ago, your so busy,, 

sure enough the buzz is happening when i get to the bathroom and i give it a bash and it stops.

i go out to the garage and like magic,, no noise static on the radio.

earlier in this post i was trying to pinpoint the problem and it came and went.

The wife takes showers,,, me i relax and take a bath.

we all know that a shower will steam up the room for most of us and i am thinking that moisture was bringing the tstat into the game of causing partial contact or something.  ,,, backfeeding something that was making my tunes sound like crap.

This tstat actually is very different from most,, it takes 220v in and 220v out directly in behind it,, there is no low voltage 24v or whatever,,, it hard makes/breaks the 220v feed to our baseboard heaters.  We dont even use the heaters due to our wood heat situation.

so,,, i killed power to the heater in this bathroom and other baseboard heaters.

this was a fault of a TSTAT, not the sun.
however,, when the sun is coming up and going down i do have a tad smidge of static that i can tolerate and i find normal ,, as in when evening comes around all our far away stations start coming in really good.

hope this helps someone.
