Hi Tony,

Yes...  Most all the RFI you see is coming from a single location, five 
years ago it was grow five strings of lights.  I assume it is the same, 
as I have seen no changes in that time...

There is a small light leak in the window of the suspected homes garage 
window.  The RFI starts at the exact same instant as a very bright 
orange light becomes visible in the garage window-- so I am sure the 
home under suspicion is in fact the source.  That and the fact the loop 
takes a null as it should when pointed at the place, the AM radio takes 
a peak as I drive by, and the two meter beam takes a peek when I point 
it at the garage.  Many indicators, all pointing at the same place.  Yes 
it is on a timer, the RFI starts and stops in cycles I would expect for 
a grow operation as well.

By the time yu read this, I will have a second movie of 30 Meters up and 
active.  It will be below the 40 Meter movie...  I just finished 
rendering it, so I need to make it a .mp4, then upload and link it.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
