[RFI] Weather related RFI

If it were me, I'd first get on 10 meters with my beam, rotate 360 degrees to see if I can hear it on 10, if I do then I'd get a heading and note how strong it is.  Then I'd get my air band portable radio and start walking to try to find the pole because that's what it sounds like.  If you can't hear it on 10 meters it might be something else.  I've found quite a few power line noise sources around my QTH using that same procedure.  After I zero in on a pole I call the power company, when they come out I go out with them and walk the power line.

Since the noise was present, I turned off our furnace and switched the thermostat as well.  Didn't affect the noise.  The funny thing is that the noise can be constant for hours--including very late at night and very early morning, seven days a week.  I can find no pattern other than the change in the weather.
