I'm looking for input from someone who has experienced a similar situation as I describe below.
About 3 months ago I began experiencing severe noise on top band. It's a constant white noise which begins to drop off above 2.5 mHz, and is hardly noticeable on 80, and not there at all on 40 meters and above. Every once and a while the noise will drop off completely, only to return a few minutes later. It is there about 98% of the time.The severity seems to vary a little, but is typically S9+15 db when present, and S3 during the rare times it drops out.. This noise is coming from the eastern direction, about a mile from here. There are power lines.there, and these appear to be the source, however there are similar power lines of the same voltage here in other directions, including one to the southwest about 800 feet away, but that one has no noise. Has anyone experienced such noise as this? I need to see if I can track this down and get it fixed. Any help will be appreciated.
