I just moved to a new qth: 19 acres, flat marsh land, few neighbors,
underground power..., but I still have !*&#%$*** LINE NOISE !!
Using a 2 meter rig with an am detector and 6 element yagi, I located the
source to a high tension line (> 100 KV) tower about 3 miles away. I hear the
noise on 160, 80 and 40 meters.
Does anyone have experience working with their power company in trying to fix
high tension noise problems, or does it take a power outage to bring the crew
out ? I don't want to appear eccentric (or deranged, which by definition if
you're a ham I suppose you are) but at the same time, I want it fixed. Are
they not obligated to fix noise problems ? What's the best strategy ?
