[Elecraft] experience with CW and settings

[Brendan Minish]

Dale, if you use a handheld that can do AM on VHF or UHF and walk the
fence you will find it pretty easy to locate the bad joint(s). Once they
are fixed the noise goes away.

For Wire fences I put a little grease on the join after I remake it to
discourage future corrosion. For tape and string I leave tails sticking
out of the knot, burn these back a little with a lighter then twist the
now exposed wires together

We use an electric fence here, in part to stop the Horses Eating Coax

I had for a while an Icom 7800 and even a hint of fence noise would
drive the AGC insane and I spent much time mending my neighbors fences.

The K3 is Much less sensitive to impulse noise triggering the AGC and as
a result I now get less exercise and fewer electric shocks!
