Hi Jeffrey,

I remember something in one of  the magazines years ago.   This guy had
noise on HF.  He killed all the breakers in his house and ran the rig on
battery power.  No noise.

Then while listening at the radio he had someone flip the breakers on one at
a time.  When the noise appeared, he knew which room or section of the house
to start unlpugging things to find the source.

I think it turned out to be a flurescent light or doorbell transformer or
something.  Of course if you kill the power and still have the noise, it
could be something in your neighbors house.  Good luck in solving that one.
