While there are harmonics, the EM radiation is most powerful at 60Hz in the US and most of the world, 50Hz in the UK and a few other countries.
The bigger problem is inductive interference throughout the drone's electronics, particularly longer...
You make great points. I want to expand on this a little.
In the radio world, powerlines can wreak havoc. What happens is a connection can grow in impedance over time. This can be seen with a thermal, but the mismatch can create a nonlinear...
