Chas,
I meant ferrous. I'm old, blind, and I use the drop-down spell assistant too much without looking. I see you are a ham and know that a ferrous antenna is directional. I however had no luck at RDF tracking. This noise is everywhere and I have to be somewhat close to some hardware for my radio/RDF tracker to detect it. I can hear the buzz standing under the power lines but 15 off to the side it's gone. At every power pole however the radio screams loud. I'm betting on a lightning arrester but where? I hope DS&O has some of the equipment you were speaking of. We will see tomorrow. BTW in 1967 I became WA0UKB 67 to 77 2 tickets then quit. Don't know why. Now I have a thirst to play with an old superhet like I used dig out of the trash back in the 60s
88s and I'll be back.
