Sorry, I must have missed that. There is an unfortunate assumption by
far too many hams that power lines are the only source RF noise,
ignoring all the electronic sources, which for any ham living in
business or residential neighborhoods are often dominant.
That's why all of my advice on chasing noise is to first figure out what
kind(s) of noise you have.

Jim,
Your statement is sort of true when referring to all possible sources of RFI
out there today.
But since I was addressing only power line noise sources and not all of the
non-powerline sources, I stand by my statement that the age of distribution
lines can indeed be found to be a major factor increasing the number of RFI
sources generated by the gap sparking on older power lines. This can and does
make it more difficult to locate the specific noise causing RFI to a ham radio
station.
