Switching power supply, like a CFL, electronic ballast long fluorescent
lamp, digital TV converter box, new cell phone charger, lap top screen
illumnator or drive, sweep from a computer CRT (tv would be 15 kHz 
spacing), plazma TV might not be so discrete and might not be at your 
location. The receiver NF is better than an S-line so hears weaker 
signals. Though HF atmospheric noise ought to obscure many. Antenna a 
wire at the rig or distant fed with coax?
