Well, that's the standard behavior for distribution-level HV - quiet
when wet.

Hi Guys,
I had just the opposite thing happen to me here a few years ago, i.e. the power
line noise only stopped whenever it'd rain outside!
Turned-out that it was the power drop-off switch off of the main line feeding my next door
neighbour here in the country: it was ancient & all pitted & black, &
arcing---but when the WX was wet, the arcing stopped.
Anyway, the power company installed a brand new switch, & all was well...

Lee,
This is possible. I have some transmission lines (don't know what voltage they
are) and a substation a little less than a mile away. I just need to wait for
conditions to get wet again, then I'm going to do the breaker-off test at the
house and go for a drive with the 706 to see if I can narrow down the source.
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
Matt, N0EYE

Matt, If you live within a mile or two of any 100 to 500 KV power lines you may
be getting corona noise. At my previous QTH I could count on the high pitched
buzz any time it rained or snowed or even in super heavy fog. I had both a 1/2
mile away 100KV and a mile away 380 KV and they both just howled when wet.

I'm having a problem with very strong, very broad noise that seems to be
associated with wet conditions.
