Ok a hole lot more in here in the power line system noise issue.

A local ham that has a rather impressive antenna farm here just down the
raod, and one street over from me, I have early morning coffee at the local
due drop Inn with a few of the boys. So that Dx Frequencies, Ham radio and
CB things can be hashed out. You would have to be there I guess to get the
full jest.

I asked him to listen in on all the ham bands and see if there was any less
noise on the bands, since the the power company fixed my street bad power
transformers. He called me up after coffee section, and invited me over for
a listen in to 20, 15, and 10 meters. He has all these mono beams up on
those bands.

We could hear DX Stations rolling in and around 14.200 Mc, on his older
Yasue FT1000 Radio, with no noise holding up the S-meter. But we did hear
inbetween the stations way off lightening, and a different type of noise you
hear when the band is kind of open. This was great to hear a noise free
radio, and not just mine. So the power company fix really worked great!

We listened in on 15, 10, and 11 meters very quiet, no power line noise. We
now wanted the bands to open up, and let the skip condations and DX to run.
