Jerry,
You're right. That's why I hang out here...to try to learn from them...even
learn how to disagree.
This is the tower reflector.
Check the ARRL website, http://www.arrl.org. Type in Fuel Pump Noise in the
search field. You should get a number of hits.
Also, try http://www.yahoo.com and type in the same info in the search
field.
There is also a RFI reflector:
