Remember all:
My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted. the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My Victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible. The Harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
My name is Gossip

What are some common causes of elevated noise floor from 10 to 30 db as seen at the node and hub site also? I have 34 nodes and 35-40 % have some type of noise problems. Thanks...Catfish
