Narrative:
At various intervals during the work day; frequency 126.52 will give off a loud burst of static lasting up to 35 seconds. This causes a disruption of ATC services because we cannot receive xmissions during the burst of static. I feel this is a very unsafe situation. The transmitter and receiver are located in algonac; mi; 30 miles northeast of detroit; mi.
