Could someone post a .wav file of what this sounds like ?
I have a large copper mine two miles away, which is essentially played-out. To
extract the remaining copper, they are now pumping large quantities of water to
the top of the tailing piles, and letting it percolate to the bottom, where they
use an electrolysis process to create copper plates from the "emerald river". I
have plenty of QRN in the direction of the mine, on all bands.
