Understood. Do you have an HF rig (or can you borrow one) that you can put 
in your car or hand carry around the neighborhood looking for peaks in 
signal strength?  My Kenwood TH-F7A is not sensitive enough on the HF 
bands to be of use, but one of the little 5W QRP rigs is small enough to 
hand carry and plenty sensitive enough to do the job. All you need is an 
antenna. Something like a Ham Stick and mag mount would work on a car if 
you don't have a mobile antenna already. Once you get close, you can think 
about a loop to triangulate on it.
