Kelly,

Two possibilities quickly come to mind:

1) an electric fence charger
2) the local oscillator (L.O.) of a scanning receiver

The repetition rate of (1) is usually a bit lower than 1 Hz.
The signals that are problematic in (2) are usually VHF and up.

Just got my antenna up at my new QTH and I'm trying to track down noise
sources.  Anyone heard a noise source that sounds like a "tick, tick, tick"
at about a 1Hz rate.  It almost sounds like a clock.  I've heard it from
14MHz up through 50MHz.  It seems to be in the direction of my neighbor's
house. _______________________________________________
