[Lowfer] TH

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

Carl's TH continues to produce a big signal here.  The signal is way 
above the worst power line noise I have ever experienced.  The noise 
started gradually about the time the drought started in this area.  I 
suspected a dirty insulator was the source and that a good rain would 
cure the problem.  But that didn't happen so I went looking for the 
source.  With a 432 MHz yagi and a FT-817 I found what I am fairly sure 
is the offending pole.  It is close to half a mile from my QTH .  Each 
of the three high voltage lines have lightning arrestors attached.  I 
reported the noise and what I suspect is the source to the local co-op 
utility.

Carl would appreciate a DX report.  TH is running a message at about 
QRSS3 rate on 189.360 +/- as much as 10 Hz but well within a QRSS3 
window.  Right now I measure TH at 189.366.
