Since the ARRL & FCC foolishly obliterated the meaning of the numeral
in a callsign can you share your geographical location & recent
weather changes - as may relate to heating needs?

That info may reveal something about seasonal appliance activity.

Last winter I had almost steady RFI most every day, most hours of the
day.  It seemed to begin when new neighbors moved in next door.  As
the weather warmed in the spring, the RFI disappeared.  Then the
neighbors moved and I had hope they took the noise source with them.
They are gone but the weather cooled yesterday and the noise is back.
The house is vacant.   So, now I have to get serious.  The only
sources I've had in the past are power line noise and defective
lights.  I've tried turning off every circuit in the house last
winter and I'm convinced it isn't within our home.  It's steady,
raspy but not sputtering. I was assuming that it is a portable heater
of some kind but what common sources are there related to cold
weather?  What might I be looking for? Thank you!
