Cecil:

Undoubtably, in a power failure, "most all" of the noise, both horiz and
vert, goes away. How to you differentiate between what is the horiz
component and that of the vert component?

True. But, given the hundred-of-thousands/millions? of miles in
conductors, carrying noise generating power in a horizontal plane, those
ground wires must only amount to a small percentage of the whole ...

A small percentage of the length of wires - a very large
percentage of the vertically polarized noise. Probably two
S-units of noise at my QTH that goes away during a power
failure.
