[Elecraft] noise

[Charles Harpole]

My HS0ZCW station noise also included BCI in a very bad way, altho no BC 
xmtr is in sight.

The ICE BCI filter cleaned it ALL up.... wonderful.

Coming up on my 50th year as a continuously licensed ham (and my 64 
birthday), I still did not i.d. that kind of noise and wasted lots of time 
running around looking at electric poles, etc.  Locals tipped me off.  The 
way to i.d. it is to turn the rf gain way down and listen for short blasts 
of what I call over-modulation... tiny pieces of words spoken over the BC 
radios.

The VRF in my Mark 5 helped a lot and lost only abt one S unit of 
sensitivity.  73
