Hi everyone:

Just read the messages on this topic in the archive and thought I'd add that 
for you guys looking for a DF antenna to go with your vhf AM receivers, 
Radio Shack sells a cheap 6 el. yagi that's designed for FM broadcast.  I 
imagine it will do okay a little higher up.  It's $19.95; catalog no. 
15-2163.  American Science and Surplus sells an ultrasonic receiver kit for 
18 or 19 bucks.  I have not tried it but the blurb about it mentions hearing 
electricity arcing among other things.  I've read that one method the pros 
have for finding the exact arc qth is through the use of ultrasonic 
receivers (except theirs are positioned at the focal points of clear plastic 
dishes they can aim).  Anyway for the money it might be worth a try. See:

I will ask the RFI reflector guys if they have had any experience using 
ultrasonic receivers.

73,
