Looking at the waveforms, the 160 meter recording has very strong 2.5
KHz and 120 Hz components. The 40 meter recording has very strong 1.75
KHz and 120 Hz components. It appears as something arcing on each half
cycle of 60 Hz. The sound is typical of power line noise and so are the
waveforms. My guess is that it is something on a power pole. The two
worst offenders on power poles seem to be the lightning suppressors and
bad insulators.
