Richard,
It sounds as though you have some noise in the neighborhood.
Try walking around your block with a portable radio. Check the AM band, and various short wave bands if you have a portable SW receiver available.
When you get an idea of where the noise is peaking, call the power company.
Your radio won't isolate the exact source, but, the power company should have access to equipment which will do that, and to the people who will know how to use it.

Hi;
Just wonder if anyone has any ideas that I haven't thought of. Spent a
significant amount of time getting help putting this hf9v vertical up
and the noise level this winter has been around s7. Doesn't make you
want to turn the radio on. The noise blanker has a nominal effect.
Short of taking the thing down and trying something else I wonder if
anyone has any exciting ideas? I don't think it was that bad last
summer but didn't have the synthesizer set to give me a reading. I'm
hoping something is running that generates the noise such as a furnace
that I won't have to deal with in the summer. If anyone says I was
murdered it would be because I mentioned a new qth to the xyl.
