Re: [TenTec] band conditions??

Mike,
It is possible for lightning surge to char some insulator, or degrade 
lightining arresstor, on the power poles, such that it creates RFI.  
Going around with a portable, preferably SW Am receiver, should show a 
peak as you approach the affected hardware/ pole.  I always unplug my 
Ten Tec and other radios from antennas when not in use, in case a 
surprise thunderstorm comes up while I am away from shack.
