Topband: Noise problem question

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

  Regarding noise on 160M, I have been consistently observing all season 
long a broad signal, reminiscent of a plasma TV, centered around 1836 
KHz.  Since it seems to be on 24/7 and my closest neighbor is a half 
mile away, I don't think it's a TV.  Has anyone else seen this signal or 
is it just local to me?

73, Joe
