I can try, I am using a 20m verticle dipole. The tuner will tune it, and I did hit a guy in SC last night so lets try.

Got nothing on this end, I will try again some other night. I am going to hunt this bad insulator down, the XYL said it wipes out the FM stereo when she walks by it walking the dog. I have a solid 20db over with heavy arching almost to 40 db.

If it's that bad you can probably hear it, and see it at night if you go for a walk.  Power company is usually happy to know, since if it's that bad it's losing a lot of power into the ground.

Yup...the power companies lose millions of dollars a year from cracked insulators on transmission lines arcing over to ground. They will usually have it fixed the next day.

It is not local, may be a few blocks over. I will have to drive around and try to find it, but not tonight.
