Topband: HVDC

I don't think you would have noise from the line except if there is a fault that is causing arcing at an insulator.

I'd hate to live near the end points where the AC to D and Dc to Ac conversions are done.

Out west we have the Pacific Dc Intertie, a 500KV system bringing power to So Cal from Oregon.  Is anyone aware of any noise issues with that?

Hi All


Through the center part of Illinois they have begun work at the government level to install a  690,000 VDC power line   As with all this there is huge amount of opposition an even groups trying to ban it 

Does anyone have any experience with a line of such high VDC as a noise source ?  It will pass within  3/4 of a mile south of my QTH



I am really concerned my only hope if this goes thru is to pull up stakes an move   rather than attempt to fight its noise 

Any thoughts
