Hi Tony,
If I may, I'd like to suggest that what you need to do is track down the
source of the noise rather than trying to speculate on what it is. The
actual source of the noise may end up being from something that you
never suspected.
I know....it's not the easiest thing to do and will require some
portable receiving equipment but this may end up saving a lot of time in
the long run. Perhaps someone in one of your local clubs has some
experience or equipment you can use.
