I had a similar problem to Clay, in as much as it was the local water company with their 25kv electric fence causing S9 clicks on 80m here in the UK, every 1.1 seconds there was such a loud click one could not wear headphones with any sort of volume, I went out with a handy and located the problem. I contacted the water company the next day by email and within 24 hours it was fixed, the guy was most interested in how I had diagnosed this and was very happy as it could have caused a fire and damaged the equipment. I have had another 2 incidents over the last couple of years with the fence and they have been very quick to respond. Yes, one polite email explaining the problem and how you came to find it goes a very long way, once you get the guys that fix 'em on your side it will be easy. If they seem a bit reluctant by them a beer for their trouble, brings me onto another short tale, one local Ham to me has his antenna attached to the telephone pole outside his house in the street, one day the phone co. was called to check a line and noticed this, next thing the antenna is on the ground, not discouraged, the 'old boy' gets inside and finds a bottle of something, waddya you know the antenna is back up properly fixed with its own little pole!!, 73 Max M0GHQ
