Just recently had one more intermittent than yours - Called the APS RFI guy and they now have a neat RX they connect to your feedline and make a screen shot of the waveform - then go looking for a matching waveform. I drove over where I had heard it loudest in my searching and he met me there - blasted thing would not go . He drove up and down several alleys around there - and while he was doing that I went home with my RX on and it popped up - I called him on his cell phone -- he found it - one of those blasted metallized mylar ballons hanging and breeze would get it where it would start arcing !!! I would have hoped the arc would fry the ballon but no such luck. Hank K7HP ----- Original Message -----
