Red Wave Radio

> A cable person came last night and said he had no idea

> the neighbors cable at the pole to see if anything changed.  

> He said he would turn it over to maintenance.

> he also said I had an ac hum and when the ground was removed the
> hum disappeared-so I left it off.  He said he would order me an
> electric isolator for the pole.

> He said the herringbone on 68 the MSG channel could never be
> repaired because there was usually a station that bleeded
> through.

> Can anybody help?

> The source of the herringbone pattern interference is caused
> by high power transmitters that broadcast pager signals.

> I used to have the same problem with (cable) channel 19,
> which has a frequency range from 150-156 MHZ.

> I realized that the interfering signal was originating from
>  Outside  of the cable system.  I purchased a scanner radio,
> and searched between 150-156 MHz and found a
> Extremely powerful pager signal broadcasting at 152.540 MHz.

> The Cable Ch. 19 Video Carrier is at 151.250 MHz,
> and the pattern of the interference matched the pager tones.

> What are the frequencies for cable channel 68?

> Are there any pager frequencies near Ch. 68?
