I've been plaqued with powerline type noise now for abt 2 weeks daily.Seems
if I pass my shortwave portable shortwave antenna near the
verticals,towers,guy wires,beverages,pennants etc. everthing seems to
be"hot" and radiating noise.Some thing a lot more than others.Is there a
method to finding the noisy culprit.I have recently put up a 2 ele 80 mtr
parasitic array but that was up put up abt a month ago and the problem seems
to have started in the last 2 weeks.Th inv L elements are open at the
feedpoint and they are very"hot".I also seem to have one guy wire that is
much hotter than and of the others on the 2 towers.Tnx Pete NO2R
