[RFI] I could see the arcs with binoculars last night! (Resolved?)

[Charles Plunk]

I notified the utility on Sunday evening. They come out today and did 
the work. I will be updating the website below as I got a chance. After 
such a long time I am hesitant to believe its fixed until listening for 
about a month but it sure appears to be fixed. I am not hearing a peep 
of the same noise.

I have 2 doublets and a 6BTV vertical on HF, a 4 el 6m beam, and some 2m 
beams and am hearing some noise on some bands on one and other noise on 
the other bands on the other but nothing like the intensity of the 120hz 
noise I was hearing on all of them. I am probably hearing these noises 
now since they were masked by the other far more stronger noise. At any 
rate these pale in comparison to the other and go away for the most part 
at night as the humidity rises. Will chase them as I get time. They may 
not even be 120hz.

At any rate I am happy happy right now!
