Topband: Different Power Line noise thread

[Gene Smar]

Sam:

     He's saying that, in his experience with his company's facilities, wet 
weather has a tendency to wash the insulator skirts clean of the dirt that 
forms the basis for the arc tracks that could generate RF noise.  If the 
noise is still there in wet weather, it's not likely to be a simple dirty 
insulator.  It could be a loose or rusted piece of energized equipment, or, 
as your power company contact claims, it could be something totally foreign 
to the utility.

     Let him do his job next week, but follow up with him so you can let us 
all know what the source of your noise was.
