"...whacking the pole with a sledge hammer..." - Seriously! In a presentation last September by noise expert K3RFI, he STRONGLY urged people not do this. It is DANGEROUS!! If there IS loose hardware and you whack the pole that hardware could come down on you...and maybe along with some hot conductors.

It was some neighbor's appliance whose hash was being re-radiated from the pole. Neither I nor the power company could ever figure it out. However, if it is something loose on the pole, you may be able to verify it by whacking the pole with a sledge hammer (seriously). If that makes the noise start and stop, you can prove it to the electric company guy when/if he comes out. Good luck. Noise is the frustrating bane of the HF op. 73, Tony KT0NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
