Is it possible that the interference is being generated not by the transmitter but rather by bad connections in power lines or utility pole guy wires nearer to you?

Some driving around with a portable radio with loop stick antenna might reveal or confirm the location of the signals.  

Hams in the past have discovered that TVI was caused not by their transmitter but rather by their own gutters, downspouts or wire yard fences.
