Hi and thanks in advance! Weve been trying to track down some noise at a friends house but no luck so far and I was hoping for some tips on finding it. The buzz comes on at sundown and turns off at s

Hi Kenny, The RFI you describe certainly appears to be triggered by sunset, either a streetlight or one or more outdoor lights in a residence. Night time only RFI is extremely rare on power lines. Yo

Hi Kenny, I normally use portable HF radio with portable tuned loop and preamp on 160 or 80 meters to triangulate on power line noise and then back the RF gain down as I get close and sometimes use m

Kenny, I should also mention that I did have to track down noise from faulty light pole (problem only between sunset and sunrise), and same setup I use for power line noise worked great to find the s

I have found power line noise sources on 160 all the way out to 5 miles. Here's a list of some of the more notable sources found over the last decade or so: https://powerlinenoiseallentexas.wordpress

Thanks for the replies so far. Just to reiterate, the noise is only from sunset to sunrise and its constant. So its likely lighting related, but it doesnt cycle. Have there been examples of constant

Hi Ken, I helped W9TC locate a street light that was causing interference on HF that sounded just like power line noise. Noise only during hours of darkness, and it was on continuous. The bad light p

Hi Ken, One last comment or clarification. I do agree that looking at the audio signature ahead of time is useful to help decide if the noise looks like power line type noise as that provides a clue

Download S-Meter Lite, and run it for at least week or more, more is better, watch the start and end times of the RFI. If they stay rock solid, the problem is probably on a timer, if they are shiftin

Hi Ken, Using 3 different audio software tools, I come up with a frequency of 60 Hertz, not 120 Hertz. Typically power line noise has bursts at a frequency of 120 hertz (arcing each half of the sine
