Hello fellow K3 Owners. I have finally discovered that AC Interference from the pole across the street is getting into my antenna and then of course I see it on my S-meter on the K3. On Saturday I had this interference all day and I finally went out with a portable AM Radio and found out that it was that particular pole. What's amazing is that at 10:15 PM the noise was gone and I went out to the pole again with my AM radio and the noise was gone. I have reported this to Philadelphia Electric Company. But the problem is that the interference is sporadic in nature and doesn't happen all the time.
Does anyone know if there is a filter that one can hook up to there antenna that would eliminate this interference before it gets into my K3? When I don't have the interference HF is a wonderfull thing, but when I have the interference I get a lousy S-5 to S-7 reading on my S-Meter. And suggestions would be much appreciated!! Mark KB3Z
