They probably don't have to buy their own electricity. *If I was still

tiny, quiet, and cool is all gravy.

There's an electric motor at a quarry, over a mile away, that has some
sparky brushes. *I can tell when they turn it on and off. *This is a
very quiet (QRM) spot.


I had exactly this same problem last week when a bunch of guys about a
half mile away were doing road work with a compressor. The noise
level from that mess was an intermittent 20 over S9, and the MFJ-1026C
had a hard time wiping it. Thank goodness they're gone.
