[RFI] can a tower re-radiate RFI?

[WW3S]

I fairly confident my RF and audio bonding/grounding in the shack and at the tower are ok, I use SPG at the shack, everything grounded to the same cooper buss bar, and then run directly to a ground rod immediately outside the basement shack in the front of the home. The tower is in the rear of the garage/yard, and grounded separately. The two separate grounds are NOT interconnected.  All the utilities in our subdivision are buried. I want to rule out my house before I start a witchhunt, and I’m not certain the AC in my house is up to specs.......I have a couple of branch circuits constantly blowing incandescent bulbs, not sure why, last year our prelit Christmas tree (on one of those circuits) blew every bulb, one string at a time....and now I’ve discovered I have a dead circuit in the garage, even though the breaker is on.....so its back this afternoon to searching each circuit at a time, not sure exactly what I’m looking for.....there’s a chance its not in my home, but I need to rule that out before I go further......this is new, at least since last 160/80 “season”  and the dead outlets in the garage seem “new” also, and the garage is closest to the tower, so maybe thats a safe bet, but walking throught the garage with the portable doesnt pick up any buzz....
