[HCDX] Noise update and mini-DXPD logs from NH-USA, Feb 5th & 12th.

Before I get to the logs I thought I would give
everyone a quick update on the ongoing noise problem
at my location. Spoke with the technician in charge of
investigating such problems last week. He said the
utility companies engineers had completed work on a
detailed map of their power lines in the area and that
he was coming up the next day, Wedsnesday the 7th,
with the necessary equipment to try and pinpoint the
source of the noise. 

I will check back with him next week. Patience
continues to be the order of the day.

LOGS: 

Have taken the radio out the past two Mondays to the
Albany Covered Bridge parking area, adjacent to the
Swift River, 7 miles from Conway Village on the
Kancamaugus Highway. The site of my previous DXPD?s,
Sugar Hill, is inaccessible as snowplows don?t clear
the parking area in the winter. Would like to stay out
more than a couple of hours but already chilly
temperatures plummet once the sun sets.
