Just thought I should share something that was a first for me when tracking down power line RFI and man it was frustrating, and I have tracked down a lot of powerline RFI. I noticed some weak RFI at

Hi Don, Thanks for sharing! It was good to see you using the FLAG... I may build one after seeing the nice null... I like the choke you have on the handle!! :) 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www

I presume that you know that was the right source because the problem went away after it was fixed. However, you don't say how you knew you were tracking the right source earlier. I've also tracked a

Nice work! I've lost steam now that I'm just using FT8 and don't have to listen to the radio. I'm also in the middle of town and have given up on tracking down noisy houses. I tended to use MFJ equip

This is my tough RFI case story. Prior to the ARRL CW DX Contest about ten years ago S9 continuous day and night RFI appeared but only on 160 meters. There was no trace of RFI on any other band. It w

Gents, I go on signal strength too WHEN I find a line noise source. If a 'source' on 80 or 160 can be heard over a 1/2 or a mile away it will have a correspondingly STRONG local signature when feet f

Hi Don, I've had some of those very constant sources, which makes tracking harder. Usually, they eventually go into some kind of fluctuations, often subtle ones. In my case, identifying the right sou

Hi Don, Aside from the safety issue, any time you find metal on metal contact near a power line, without secure bonding, you have a potential noise source. One example I found was a lateral guy touch

No chiding, but this does represent a good example of how some RFI problems can represent important maintenance issues. Even the neutral is not safe. If there is a problem with a transformer ground a
