Well, my noise is worse than ever. Ameren says it's not them and
won't work with me anymore. It's covering all of 6m and way down in HF now.
It sounds EXACTLY like noise source #3 on the rfiservices sounds page. It's
20 over S9 on all bands down to 40m.
Makes me want to quit ham radio. I haven't got the time or energy
to fight this crap anymore.

Amen to that - I found a neighbor with an electrically-heated dog dish that
had a bad thermostat. Emphasizing the fire risk ("hear that - that's a
spark somewhere on your house wiring") is very useful.
Here's an excellent reference on finding which house has the noise:
