Hi, Mike. The next time this happens, call the power company and tell them you
have a special radion that monitors airplane/aviation communication and their
power line noise is wiping out airplane communications. Also, let them know
your next call is to the FAA. Works wonders.

Gang...
I started this thread with my mention of noise from the local power
line.
S-9+40 over on all frequencies from Broadcast to FM..
Called the power company
1. Linemen can't fix.
2. They (the linemen) referred my call to the engineers
3. They (the engineers) would call me and set up an appointment to
install a device to monitor line voltage ( I could not get into
anyone's head there was nothing wrong with the voltage, it's RFI!)
4. No one called
5. Noise still there. I was basically shut down from any HF activity
6. New thunderstorm rolls through friday night
7. Lightning hits power pole that was making the noise
8. Lighting strike takes out one transformer (there's three on this
pole!)
9. BBQs assorted parts
10. Linemen replace and repair pieces parts
11. Noise is gone
Life is good!
