Comments:

Noise problems here on 160 in addition to 10.  Can't think of operating
seriously when you just can't hear
even with beverages.  Kind of at my wit's end with the noise on this band.
It is on 160 and 80 constantly
and is varies little, the power company just can't find it.  They have a
load of bad lightning arrestors in
the field that emit noise on low bands and they can be far away and hard to
pinpoint with out a rotating
antenna on either 80 or 160 so it is very frustrating.  I'm thankful it
didn't hamper N9RV too much in
CQWW CW.
