It's the Ethernet stuff related to the router. The cables are acting as 
transmitting antennas, your ham antennas are receiving the noise.  The 
solution is multi-turn ferrite chokes on each of those cables. Five 
turns on a #43 or #31 core will make a nice dent in the noise.  See 
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  for details, and for part 
numbers and vendors for suitable ferrite cores.  EVERY cable can radiate 
the noise, including the power cables, so every cable should be choked.
