I took a side trip and found that the pole belongs to the Oklahoma Electric Cooperative (OEC) and is pole number 31W19-4. It is currently not generating any noise, but that's only a temporary conditi

Could they have been immersed (more or less) in water then exposed to freezing? That could have imposed enough stress. Also, as long as the pieces of the beads themselves remain held together, they w

Lightning will most certainly do that! I had a strike that blew up the beads on a 1:1 balun on my F12 Sigma 80. It also vaporized the center conductor of the transmission line within the balun. If yo

Good point and one I was ignorant of! Kim Elmore, N5OP The performance of split beads is very sensitive to the length of the air gap between the faces, which is why the faces are so highly polished a

I have a recurring power line RFI issue. At one point, it seemed to have been remedied, but has returned. It sounds similar to what I had earlier in the spring. That was repaired by the power company

About the only way you can manage that in a straightforward manor is with good, old-fashioned AM. Or, alternatively, a two-tone input to an SSB transmitter. Both with plenty of power. But this does r
