Hi Gang, my utility is about to roll out smart meters and it occured to me will
it generate rf on hf? It will be 6' from shack. Anyone pulling their hair out
over smart meters? I hope not.

Not a trace at my very quiet location...and I have good antennas on both 160
At risk of prolonging this thread, I also live in a very quiet location.
The "smart meter" is about 20 feet from the shack (60 feet from nearest
antenna), has been there for at least 10 years, and there is not a trace
of RFI from it that I recognize as such.

Guys,
How are we defining smart meters? There appear to be a class which only
can be read remotely. Then there appears to be a class which have the
ability to control various house heavy current devices (e.g. heat
pumps). For all I know the may be only one meter with the ability to
connect "
I have 'smart' electric and gas meters from PG&E. The only HF RFI I've ever
detected is a
very weak 'beep' from the gas meter every second or so on 1820 kHz which was
picked up by
an amplified receiving antenna a few feet away. I've since moved the antenna to
about 20'
away for other reasons
