The noise has changed every since it started raining. Now we have snow...so
lots of moisure in the air.
I no longer get a steady S9+5 noise level on 80, but it jumps between S5 and
S9 every second or two.
The rfi is definitely different now. I'll see if it changes back to steady
S9 when we dry out.
I can't pin the noise source down any more. It seems to be strong in about
a 200 foot section of power line.
If I look for the center of the noise by where it drops off and draw a
circle, it looks like a power pole. Interestingly, there's this big cable
hanging down from it and drapped around the pole. And there's a cable box
on the ground near the pole. The neighbor told me last summer he didn't
thing the box was being used any more. I'm pretty sure wires shouldn't be
hanging that have an end with no connection.
The plot thickens...or sickens...
