Another drifting source that slowly drifts across 80 meters and repeats turns 
out to be a "Solar Boy" 
one of the cheap garden ":Little Boy" with LED lights at night . For several 
days I thought it was my 
active vertical amp oscillating -then went snooping with my Icom R10 rx and lo 
and behold it was 
the "Solar Boy" sitting about 5 feet from my active vertical.

down

supply
| was the culprit.
