John,

Thankfully I have not heard the "woodpecker" for a long time. My 
recollection of it is that the pulse rate was lower than what I heard 
last night. What I heard last night was more like a cicada than a 
woodpecker. I checked up and down in frequency and did not hear it below 
7000 kHz or above 7090 kHz, nor did I hear it on any other bands. This 
morning I don't hear it at all, which is consistent with the notion that 
it is not generated locally, or it is turned off.
