Default noise antenna?

about 6months ago my normally low noise level has been plagued with
some noise
it's on and off about 30sec to 1 min on and maybe 1min off but then
it seems to take a break and might go quite for say 5 min


Could be a heating pad. I once had a problem like that back in the days
when The Public Service Company Of Colorado was relly helpful on those
matters. (Now they're no longer The Public Service Company Of Colorado,
and, they are no longer helpful. sigh...)

I had alreay eliminated my house as the source. The feller that came
out from PSCo. found a heating pad being used for a doogie bed (24/7) in
the house across the alley from me. The bi-metal control was carbon'ed
up and arcing in use. The control was also STUFFED UNDER THE DOG'S
BLANKET!!!, and the blanket was starting to char!
