Re: [IRCA] Broadband noise - (Getting rid of it)

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Bob,

Since the power company replaced the power box and put in 2 new 8 foot
ground rods, my noise from the neighbors light dimmer is way down
anyway. I can still hear it a bit on the bottom part of the band on the
R8 in the morning when he gets up after 0700 PDT or shortly thereafter,
but it is not an issue. It was much worse in the past. My one old ground
rod was pretty much useless when they dug up the utillities. It was
there for 40 years I would guess. I am sure if they replaced all of the
power boxes around here the noise level would even drop more, but I
doubt they will do that anytime soon. Mine was pretty rusrty, so they
considered it a fire hazard. It did not cost me anything though. But the
noise is down.
