Not in my case. The power company here finally resolved a case of RFI I
suffered with for 2 years, primarily on 160m. They brought in a specialist,
also a ham, from a neighboring co-op and they isolated it to a particular
style of lightning arrestor ( I think they called it a Cooper?). It wasn't
defective but just was typical of that style of arrestor. My noise was well
over S9 and the arrestor was just over a mile away.
