While on the subject of noises, has anyone else noticed the wideband
noise down around 1805?  I seldom tune there but noticed it while 
looking for XZ1N last evening.  From here it is strongest on my 30
degree Beverage.  I can eliminate it with a Noise Canceller which
makes me think it may be a local problem.  

If anyone else has heard this, please reply directly and I will compile
a summary and then post it.
