I strongly recommend NK7I's technique, using a wide waterfall from an 
SDR over 24 hours to study the comings and goings of what are often 
multiple sources, and identifying one or more as what you're hearing. 
This gives clues about WHEN to DF it, and on what frequency(ies).

Also, my applications note about using that spectrum/waterfall to 
determine whether the source is electronically generated or arcing, 
usually in the power distribution system.
