15-12-2015: compost run & determining the boundaries of the magnetic field

yeah.

i did a compost run this morning, which was a long walk a good way from home, and it was interference free until i got a few blocks from home.

whatever the cause of this is, it's transmitting over several city blocks.  it's a bloody huge field.

short of getting the city or the utility or whatever else it is to get to the source, there is no way to stop the interference. that is now clear to me. it's not in my control. my only option is to try and block it.

i learned during the walk that my walking phones have a short. the initial logic was "either it's interference or both phones are shorted. it's unlikely that both phones are shorted. so, it must be interference."

and, it is clear that there is interference.

but, it might also be the case that both phones are shorted.

if i can prove to myself that my studio phones are shorted, and replacing the cord fixes that, then that's good enough for now.

but, i also need to figure out how to approach this huge multi-block field i find myself living in, too.
