[RFI] Can you identify this noise?

[Tom Horton]

Kirk,
That does really sound weird! Is it in any way directional? It doesn't sound
line line noise to me, rather like some scummy guy breathing in the 
closet...hi!
Are there any manufacturing plants in your area? How far away are your 
neighbors
are you?
  Can it be nulled with a directional antenna? Do you have a portable 
receicer (AM) that you can walk around with in the neighborhood?
Good luck!
73, Tom K5IID
