Today I tracked down RFI to a power pole that was causing problems at
N4TZ. This was an interesting case as the pole was located in front of a
house out in the country and the homeowner saw me looking at the pole with
my portable RF direction finding gear and she came out to talk with me and
to apologize about her barking dog. The homeowner immediately mentioned
that the pole makes a lot of noise and sure enough I could hear the arcing
with my naked ear (you can hear it at the 2:30 mark in my video). She also
mentioned that she recently saw an employee of the cable company
banging/hitting the pole.
Here is a link to a video I just uploaded to youtube documenting this case
for those interested.
