Good one Jim.
My entry for favorite story is finding a 20 db over S9 noise at W5WMU
two days before the SS CW. It appeared to be very local and turned
out to be a pole that was on WMU's property dedicated to bringing his
power in. I found by wiggling the guy wires at the end of the run,
the noise would break up. Steph (N5SYF) called up the power company
and probably embellished the situation a bit (using terms like arcing).
Turns out they had a crew out down the street and they came over and
quickly verified it was one of four poles (by pulling a fuse) and they
replaced the HV insulators on all of the poles (finding one that was
likely the one arcing).
Noise was gone - they were there less than an hour.
