Here is a story about success with National RF's 80m HFDF Loop in locating RFI. 
 In addition to being the local utility intereference locator, Stuart is a 
licensed ham.

Hi Alan,

 

It was nice catching up with you, however briefly it was, Monday evening. I 
went back this morning (before sunrise) with the National RF equipment and it 
worked like a gem. It was raining at first so I had to remain in my car. The 
null direction wasn't quite pointing at the suspect pole. The customer brought 
me an umbrella and I walked closer to the pole which increased the signal 
strength as I suspected it would but the null still did not aimed directly at 
the pole which bothered me so I walked on down the street to find that the 
signal strength increased and I had to turn down the gain on the (Radar 
Engineers) 240. Low and behold I got a better null indicating the next street 
light down the street. Then as we discussed the other night light began to 
visibly work erratically correlating with the display on the 240 .

 

As always, thanks for the opportunity to bounce these things off of you.

 

Cheers and 73,

 

Stuart Sloan
