[RFI] Working with Utilities

[GARY HUBER]

Many years ago when I was experiencing Power Line RFI, one of the local power company technicians explained that the power pole  cross arm bolt, washer, and nut would loosen as the pole dried out,  and the washer would spin while in the 7 kV field creating noise. The cross arm
brace bolt, washer, and nut assembly would also create noise after the wooden cross arm dried out...

Any hardware on the power pole should be suspect, and tightened during dry periods...

...as well as the use of or not to use the word "noise" among many others.

Mike Gruber and many others have done a terrific job keeping this IEEE standard moving forward towards completion.
