One tip; make sure you are tracking the right noise. I found out the
hard way that many power line utility devices/poles emanate "noise" when
you are nearby but may not be "the" noise that you are hearing in your
station receiver. A break thru on my latest hunt was I re transmitted
the noise over 440mhz FM from my hf station while it had a distinctive
but varying pattern. Then compared to my 2m HT on AM with portable yagi
by listening to them both while triangulating. Made a world of
difference to tracking the right noise.
Exactly right. My RFI tutorials begin by pointing out the differences
between power line noise and electronic noise, then by showing how to
tell what you're hearing and how to chase it. They are in the form of
text and slides.
