Rick,
If it's impulse noise, or acts like it at VHF, I chase it with the
VHF/UHF mobile rig and talkie that also have wide-band RX. I've
programmed memories both in rigs for AM on 160 MHz, and 3-4 frequencies
stepping above that up to around 550 MHz. I drive around listening to
160 MHz, then shift up in frequency as it gets louder. When it gets
really loud, I get out of the car with the talkie, holding it very close
to my chest to give it half-space directivity, and when I think I've
zeroed in on it, I remove the duck.

Can anyone inform me at to whether there is any kind
of analogous help about noise on this side of the
pond from the FCC? I have a severe noise source
audible for miles on my AM car radio. It doesn't
sound like the familiar power line noise, but
rather appears to be CFE (Customer furnished equipment)
as opposed to anything related to the utility. The
utility only furnishes the "antenna" AKA the power
lines. (It follows a particular line for miles).
That line is few miles from me to the southwest,
as indicated by the null in the noise from my loop
antenna.
