Jerry,

Would it be useful to collect some data using the 400kV HVDC line that feeds
the twin cities:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CU_%28Powerline%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HVDC_projects

while looking up details about this line, I realized that I operated from
near this line in January '07.  I was just west of Buffalo Lake, MN.
I don't recall what the noise level was like.  It's a spot that W0ZQ found.
