Hi Chris,

I was using my K3 and a small diameter magnetic loop antenna sticking up 
through the sunroof of my car.  I've found noise sources with this setup 
before. 

I can hear CW and FT8 signals on the loop but cant hear the RFI "signal" on the 
loop.  I thought this was very odd since the signal is pretty strong on my 
shack radio.

One of my neighbors about .5 miles away has a new solar installation.  I drove 
past that house and it was quiet.

We don't have powered channel markers in the lake. 

We do have lots of gulf carts around here so perhaps this is a battery charger ?

Thanks, 

Joe
