Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Question about power lines
If primary power line carrying noise, you are gonna pick it up well with parallel wire antenna. Maybe less intense if grounded quarter wave vs. self-resonant ungrounded half wave? 73, Mike AC5P On Saturday, March 11, 2017 10:44 AM, Fred C.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Question about power lines
Al, When transmitting, the current node does the 'work,' so I'd say it also does the main receiving job. But the difference in your situation might be small.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Question about power lines
Please answer on the list -- I have the same issues and would be interested in any comments.

[Elecraft] [OT] Question about power lines
One leg of a horizontal antenna has to, unfortunately, run parallel to the power lines at the back of a city lot. Will there be more pickup of electrical noise if that leg has a current maximum, or a current minimum on it, along the portion of the antenna closest to the power lines? You can e-mail me privately to keep traffic down.
