The ARRL Members-Only section has a news story about the broadband "buzz"
heard on 80m recently.
N0AH's post on the Topband reflector was one of the information sources.
Here's the brief summary:
What's the Buzz? (October 7, 1999) -- Efforts are under way in the US and
Canada to identify the source of what's being described as a loud and broad
"125 Hz buzz" that's been showing up on the 80-meter band. The ARRL
Monitoring System has requested FCC assistance in tracking down the harmful
interference, which has been audible primarily in the US Northeast.
The full story is here:

"Additional reports and observations are welcome to ARRL Volunteer
Monitoring System Administrator Tom Hogerty, KC1J,
thogerty@arrl.org "
A summary of the story may also probably appear in the ARRL Letter this week.
