There is an underground transformer on my front property line. The antennas are in the back of the house. There is a parkway below our back yard with above ground power lines. The dipoles are for the most part perpendicular to the power lines. The noise is pretty constant, not a lot of popping.
I'll try and attend this weekend's local HAM meeting and see if there is anyone there with local experience in snooping. I haven't a clue on how to do this. I <could> call the power company but wouldn't even know what to tell them at this point. I'm not sure they just send someone out if you complain about generalized noise.
