In the area I live right now, I have high voltage lines (500KV) on three sides about a 1/8 to 1/4 mile away.
The weird thing is I get practically no signals on 40 meters, and when I do they are very weak. I have several receivers to listen with a SR-40, TS-940, TS-930, TS-830, FT-817, and a TenTec Corsair, it's the same with all the radios. 80M, 20M is teaming with signals and low noise. I have used a Delta Loop, and a Random wire antenna, with no difference other than noise. Has anyone encountered anything so weird? For a while I thought my SR-40 was not working, until I tried to transmit 2 watts into a dummy load, which I could pick up on the SR-40.
