my IC746 because it didn't have an adjustable noise blanker.  Now have an

IC765.  I've lived with this condition for years.  Horses.  Careless

Lee,
Boy that is amazing. I would never have focused on those fences. That rythmic 
pulsing sure had me baffled. I did find out 3 neighbors have those invisible 
fences for their dogs and about half mile away is a horse stable with 
electric fence. Now to start narrowing it down. I did try using a portable AM 
radio and then my QRP PLUS with a short antenna but was not able to pick it 
up until I put the PLUS on the GAP antenna. The noise blanker on the rig did 
attenuate the signal quite a bit.

I talked to two invisible fence folks for the area. One was willing to check 
out his two clients in the area but the other company kept claiming they 
don't transmit over 15 ft away (and all QRPers know how far you can go on 
milliwatts). Thanks Lee and Steve and Mike and the rest of you for pointing 
out the probable source.

PS I did check the mattress for ticking and tried the flea and tick spray 
with no avail (smile)
