You'll need to find, and isolate the point at which rectification is

any structure touch, you can get rectification, which will product mix
products from the environmental RF. It took me a couple of years to
finally track down and eliminate the mix products being generated on my
property. Padding down the antenna input also helped.

resolve that issue is trying to get something done with your local power
provider.
