[Fourlanders] Cable interference on 6M?

[Paul Yeager]

Every time I pass the telephone pole at the end of my driveway, the squelch breaks on my GE Delta, which is set up for 6M FM.  It's been so long since I programmed the thing that I'd have to haul it out and read it with a computer to find out just what frequency.  It does this in several other places in town, too.  Different cable provider, probably the same problem.

Hey Bob, I have a birdie at 50.150 here in Westminster with the beam pointed 
in your direction. I don't know if it is from the same scurce but very 
annoying.
