Or use a tinySA, and take a look at entire bands at one time... I have
found that the tinySA is a real assist in correlating RFI sources. See:
https://www.nk7z.net/
to get to my base page, or
https://www.nk7z.net/tinysa/
to go directly to the article.
At the end of the tinySA article is a photo of my 80 Meter RFI, as
viewed by a tinySA, and a 6BTV with 40 radials, ground mounted. The
source is 4 blocks from the antenna. This will give you an idea of what
you will be able to do with the tinySA RFI wise.
...and to keep it Elecraft related, I will be connecting my tinySA to
the RX out jack on the K3.

Jerry,
I'm sure you can make something work. I used to have HV power lines about
150 yards from my house.
It was only a problem during rain/snow/fog with conduction across the
insulators.
I had a cubical quad and could identify the offending pole and could
likewise null out the noise.
Oddly, I don't recall there being a problem on the 80m or 40m dipoles.
You could always do a quick noise check with a mobile HF rig or a handheld
AM shortwave receiver.

Subject: [Elecraft] [OT] Ham Radio near high voltage power lines?
Just moved to a new QTH and there are high voltage power lines cutting
across the corner of our property running NW direction. The house is on the
East side of the lines.
Is it reasonable to expect good operability or is it a wash? I don't want to
go through the troubles if I'll just be frustrated.
Was looking to do a 60' tower for the high bands (I'll still be below the
lines height wise), multiband vertical (low bands 80/40/30) , and
dipole(80/40).
Vertical is planned to have 60 or more radials.
Thanks in advance.
