The LS10 is overly sensitive with its own LCD Screen let alone the 11kV tra=
nsformer mentioned below.
Were you recording with the LS10's internal mics or using external?
A small recording sample may help, - although "quite close" may mean you an=
d the
recorder were well in the electric field of the transformer lines.

11 kV, 25 m to the side, 10 to 20 Volts per meter.
I really have no idea at what point the internal or external mic's are affe=
cted by power lines. I tend to keep clear of them and always keep my tinfoi=
l hat on :)
