update:
this morning I went the other way, down in frequency to 1.700mhz
at 1.700mhz and the frequency's below that are clear

I found the lowest point that the noise starts is 1.705mhz
it starts abruptly and immediately at 1.705mhz
it's not there on 1.700mhz
but is S9+30 at 1.705mhz

here is a clip of one place where I found a cyclic noise on 1.736.74 using LSB

here is a clip of me tuning across the 1.700mhz - 1.705mhz point
I was listening using AM. there is a weak station at the 1st
when I was on 1.700mhz.
I went from 1700 through 1705, then back down to 1700
and then back and forth across the 1705 point it popped up.

by about 1.776 it is starting to sound like my elevated noise floor
goes all the way up to 5.0mhz with S9 to S9+10 on LSB
by 6.0mhz it is gone and I have my normal S3-4-5 noise floor
