Hey, great video, and I liked the tip about the AM radio. I wanted to mention that you can also use a phone toner wand if you have one for detecting this kind of noise. More importantly though, I wanted to mention that you should protect yourself by using a foreign voltage detector before you touch any of these ground wires. There can sometimes be quite a lot of voltage and/or current on these ground wires. If the connection is corroded at the bottom, you may give a very large potential access to ground through you. I came across one a number of years ago where there was an AM radio broadcast antenna right across the street from a subs' home, and copper thieves had cut nearly all the ground lines off the poles. There was ~600volts on the cable shielding at the CSE. His was the only home along that bit of road, so all that potential from about 12 spans was going to ground through his CSE.
Thank you for the tip I will give that a try if I ever get the opportunity to use one! Oh absolutely sir I keep one on me whenever I am going to touch or climb a pole I just didn’t document that part hahaha. Thanks for the feedback brother!

Chasing an issue now, have transformers on every pole on the cable leg i am working, noise hits intermittently, will try this method, thank you
