Solving Static

Great radio-interference mystery may soon be solved - Kaloomps Daily News

"The issue should be reported to Industry Canada and they can dispatch an inspector to the area to investigate," she added.

As it turns out, Industry Canada no longer investigates sources of radio interference.

According to the agency: "The changing climate in government has caused us to re-examine our role, and consequently, we no longer provide those services that are non-essential or simply, more appropriately delivered by the private sector."

In response to our query, Industry Canada's Michel Cimpaye suggested we contact B.C. Hydro because "AM interference is often cause by nearby power lines."

So we finally contacted B.C. Hydro.

For three days, our Readers' Reporter pestered the corporation's public relations manager, Cindy Verschoor — enough so, she put staffer Dag Sharman on the case Friday morning.

"I am looking into this and will get back to you asap," Sharman emailed.
