Hi Ray,

Trying to guess the source from looking at captures can be tough... That said, here are a few questions:

1.  Does it ever change sound?
2.  Does it run on a schedule?
3.  It is always the same?
4.  Is it just on 160?

If it runs on s schedule, kill your house power at one of the run times for it to test if it is in your home...

It looks like a SMPS. Once you get proof it is not in your home, buy or better yet, build a loop.

Look over Jim's paper, it does make a difference for the better, if you follow his steps for quieting down your RF environment.

Take a look at my page at:
https://www.nk7z.net/sdr-rfi-survey-p1/

That is part I of a two part series on getting to know your RFI environment using an SDR. There are several other links on the right dealing with RFI as well...

I have this 160 Meter RFI :  https://youtu.be/QI08sE2FS40
It shows up once or twice an hour for 5 to 10 minutes. Any ideas what it is?
Thanks,
