Exciting development on my #RFI hunt. Two linemen from SCE showed up today with some specialized gear. A Radar Engineers 243 RFI Locator, a parabolic dish, and a FLIR acoustic camera.

They connected the 243 to my antenna line and immediately said “ yep, that’s power noise and it’s bad”.

The alleged offending glass bell insulators - 400 yards away from the house. Innocent until proven guilty by replacement!

@K6KH Interesting that the wooden cross arm is discolored from each of the the ends up to the two metal supports leading down to the pole and what looks like a ground bus running down out of the image. That might be a leakage conduction path from the insulator ends towards ground. Hope insulator replacement solves the QRN issue there. 73
