Wait...I know exactly what that noise is! It was bugging me for years, but
after nosing around the Internet, I finally found out that it is the nasty
third harmonic of a Cuban jamming station that jams 6.030 MHz. I read about
it on a shortwave users list, and when I tuned down on the harmonic, I
heard the same thing, only stronger and a little narrower since the whole
signal tripled, causing the sidebands to expand in kind. I understand that
several complaints have been filed through diplomatic channels, but the
Cubans don't care.
17 Meters is closed now at my QTH, but I'm hearing the fundamental fine.
