Recently this reflector discussed noisy pumps and their cures. Last 
winter the gas wells on my place were converted to electric motors. Good 
to say bye bye to the spark plug, bad to say hello to electric motor 
hash on the Beverage. Now that snow is gone and my springtime ranch 
duties are more or less winding down I went to the well site with a 706 
and very short antenna that I could convert from E to B field quickly. 
Yikes! The B field is horrendous. I don't yet know the motor brand..From 
what I can see all the wiring is in underground conduit except for the 
HV to LV transformer and breaker. The motor is not enclosed other than 
its case. For now I assume no steps like filtering have been applied.

In general what is available to the gas company to fix this?

Thanks 73
