For the past week or so, I've been hearing a constant carrier on
14.0MHz, as exactly on frequency as my rig can determine.

It varies in strength through the day, changes strength when I switch
between my R5 vertical and 40 meter dipole, and disappears when I switch
out the antennas.

Even though nothing new has been introduced into the house, I went
through the exercise of unplugging or turning things off, but the signal
remains.

Anybody else hearing it, or is it something local?

Your signal strength variations argue against it, but is there a
possibility that your calibrator is turned on?

Rig doesn't have one :-)

Bert-

I've heard it here in Florida.

I wonder if it could have anything to do with a common local oscillator
in an HD Radio or Television? I don't hear as much noise on 3.579545
any more. However, I have a clock with a battery-backup circuit that
divides 3.57940 down to 60 Hz, and it comes in loud and clear!

Bert,

Not imagination. From my Plymouth station it bears about 315 degrees, and
from my Lake Vermilion station it seems southerly, but inconsistent.
Measurements taken Friday from Vermilion, and Saturday and Sunday from
Plymouth.

What's the azimuth from your station?

Bert,

I have a number of reports from MWA, TCDXA, and others in MN, WI, and SD,
all reporting the signal. Most with westerly bearings.
