Pete,
The noise was repetitive, but I don't recall how far apart the signals
were. It disappeared a few hours ago so I'll have to wait till it pops
up again to make another video -- I'll post it ASAP.
I wonder if it's more likely for solar panels to cause RFI during the
day when they are being charged?
Thanks Pete..
