I've been tuning across HF and I just realized that the weird noises
that are obscuring 6055 are EVERYWHERE, on every band, not only on my
FRG8800 but also my DX396 (battery operated/whip antenna, so it's not
line noise). I turned off and unplugged everything I could think of,
from air cleaners to lights to computer equipment and it's still there.
Only the strongest stations get through. It's not solar caused because
the rest of you aren't getting it. It must be in my area somewhere. I
believe it started in mid September and clears up only once in a blue
moon. What can I do?

When trying to track down a new noise source, I usually start by
disconnecting the main circuit breaker(s) for the home so I'm sure there
is nothing still on. Otherwise, don't forget to unplug all the
'wall-warts', those small AC adapters that power things like cordless
phone bases and battery chargers for cell phones. The one for my
computer printer puts out noise at regular intervals in the higher HF
range.
If the noise is not coming from your home, take the DX-396 for a walk
around the neighborhood to see if you can find where the noise is
strongest. It might be a street light or a power line problem.
