Thanks for the reply,

What sort of antenna are you using? You might be able to configure
something, although I'm not exactly sure what, that can provide more
directivity and maybe escape from some of the junk noise.
Don't just write it off because of the all the Chinese crap thats out
there. A problem crept up here once, right about Christmastime, where I
got a steady rhythmic buzz a couple of times per second. Figured it was
a neighbors Christmas lights or something. Switched off all my breakers
and it persisted. Could hear it several hundred feet away from my house
on a portable radio. It was everywhere, impossible to null or peak.
But it persisted for months AFTER Christmas. Then a main breaker to my
house (in the panel out front with the meter) crapped out and had to be
replaced. Guess what? No more noise!
So there I was putting up with the noise and blaming neighbors and Red
China and the problem was something so simple - just difficult to localize.
Just food for thought.
Good luck,
