Hi Gordon,
Can't say for sure about the solar panels. I'll have to take a tour of the
neighborhood with a portable.
About 10 minutes after I made the posting, noise stopped. All bands returned
to the noise level I'm accustomed to.
I would think that would rule out a utility issue which is too bad as my
local utility is usually very responsive to these things. Would have been a
couple phone calls to get into the que.....
Looks like tours of the area and some logging of when I hear the noise is in
order. My radio play time is very limited so finding a trend may take some
time / effort on my part.
Thanks for the insight.
Regards
Tom

Tom,
Needed more coffee...
Saw the video. Do your neighbors have new solar panels?
Inverters on the panels could be in play. Does it quiet down after dusk?
Try taking a portable radio for a walk.
A Kenwood TH-F6A in SSB mode can be handy both with the internal AM bar
antenna and a whip.

Subject:[RFI] Noise - where do I start?
Haven't been active much of the summer. In the recent weeks I started
noticing a very broad band noise.
Link to a video file (large). www.thdesignsinc.com/noise
There are times when it totally disappears but I have not spent enough
time(yet) noting when I hear it and when I don't.
I shut down the power in the house and only had the radio plugged in - no
difference.
Looking to be pointed in the right direction - power line noise or possibly
neighbors.
Regards,
Tom
