I forgot to post this, but there is a DC Power Transmission Line that runs from the Oregon/Washington border to Los Angeles. I was unaware that direct current was in use for power transmission. But, it has some advantages. Cool!
Someone mentioned that the reports of eye irritation/damage might be from a infrared laser, such as the PEQ-15. This could be malicious or just an error.
I might have posted this before, but I am working with the JS8Call mode (ham radio). The JS8Spotter utility has a lot to offer in support of JS8 operations.
