Do these look like LED lights from the ground? I can be on the lookout for them
here, too. If we ever start seeing noisy LED streetlights, we are in BIG
trouble.

Hi,
As I said, (and told the City folks), not scientific, had we had more time I
would have been able to do a proper test, but the lights are already up and
running... I will do a few more drive by events as time allows, and bring
higher and higher frequency gear.
We came into this late. This was just a sweep to be sure something was not
horribly wrong, not a definitive test, and it was presented as such to the city.
