"Any ideas on which devices are suspect?"

I'd suspect the wireless voice/data/modem extenders/phone jacks, popular from the late 80's, maybe early 90's, onward. Perhaps not so popular now, but the thrift shops are full of them for a few bucks a pair, so stands to reason they'd still be in use. Most operated in, or around 80m, for some reason. I used to hear several of my neighbors phones on them, usually voice, sometimes fax, data, modems, et cetera, whatever they would normally plug into a jack.

Interesting side-note, the old cordless phones with speech inversion "security", could be heard flawlessly with an Icom IC-706 MKII on HF in RTTY-Reverse mode, whether the 80m phone extenders, or even the 4x MHz jobs.
