[RFI] Noise...

[Gary Smith]

dial up 135 mhz and see if that helps. Particularly in AM mode.

I too send pole 3's box #s when I experience interference.

And, when your local utility realizes that you are on the level with 
them re RFI, the next time you make a complaint you will not be looked 
at as a whiner or sniveler.
