[RFI] Noise in Amarillo

[jim feldman]

Yea, it's probably arcing but it could be anything from loose line hardware
on a pole to a bad doorbell xformer.  Sounds like 120Hz so rectified AC.

In the end, it's almost always a RFDF session with a directional antenna
and a radio that can hear AM around 135MHz.

I bought a FT-60 just for that purpose and built a tape measure yagi for
the antenna.  What I suspected was trash from HV transmission lines, turned
out to be a neighbor 5 doors down.  The HV lines (other than corona noise)
were in fact pretty quiet.

Have they killed power to their house yet?
