All:
Just an update on the noise:
Turned off all breakers in the house except for one that powers a
single A/C outlet in the shack. The noise was still there. Friend has
not come through with his battery powered HF rig so I might just by a
small 12 volt so I can run the rig with the main breaker turned off.
To recap:
- noise appears each night between 7PM and 8 PM.
- Continues intermittently until morning and is not heard during the day
- it sounds similar to line noise. It's wide-band about 30khz in width
- It appears every 120 kHz on several HF bands.
- noise shifts in frequency when shack light is turned on / off using
house switch
- shack light is not the source of the noise. It's there with the
light unplugged
- noise appears on a heading that is beaming away from my QTH

to do with AC power coming into the house. I noticed that the noise
changed when I turned the shack light on and off. This video shows

Unplugging the shack light does not make the noise go away. Turning
the shack's light switch on or off with the light unplugged does not
change the noise. The noise persists with power supplies, computers
and TV's turned off or unplugged.
