Don't forget its Christmas time. I would look out the windows and
see if you can observe some neighbors new Christmas lights in sync
with that noise!

TT'ers,
I have some ugly new noise at the QTH. Starts out low and quickly
builds to S 5-6 (RF gain up, 500 hz filter) for 10-20 seconds, and
then abruptly stops. It seems to cycle about once a minute. The
Omni 6+ NB does a good job on it, but when a strong adjacent
signal starts up (within 10 Khz or so), I hear the guy's CW as
raspy noise in my passband, and its strong enough to wipe out
weak sigs. The occurs when the noise is strong. When the noise
is absent, I don't hear the garf from strong adjacent sigs.
Any idea on what this type of noise is? If its from a power line
or transformer, would it cycle like that?(I'm going fox hunting
with a portable AM radio tonight).
What causes me to hear the raspy CW when the noise is there, but
not when it isn't, and is there anything I can do about that?
73,
Ron - WA9IRV
