I get to have fun trying to track down some noise.

Seems that when it's on (a lot), it runs from 40 meters all the way through to 17 meters. Good S9, takes out the whole band. I thought it might be the new Roadrunner go fast sideband cable modem, but I unplugged it with no change. Thought it might be the blower in our furnace, but turned off the thermostat with no change either. Thought it might be the ethernet over house wiring adapters, but I've had a couple of them running since August, but the noise has only started with a vengeance during the past few weeks. It was intermittent, but now pretty constant, which makes me think it's something Winter or holiday related, but absolutely no idea what yet. I'm not even sure it's being generated at my house, could be something from a neighbor. That I hear it more often in the evening lends some credence to this theory. Lovely buzzing static. I'm somewhat inclined to blame the high speed Internet, but more at the cable drop, maybe, and not the modem itself, as I started noticing it when we got the sideband Internet service. Could be coincidental though, as I don't hear it all the time. Anyway, it's very annoying. Not expecting a lot of suggestions, mostly just bitching. LOL
