Many streetlights will do the same.

The powerline noise was masking another
noise source that was trashing everything from 80 up to 10m. This noise was
about S5-7, but would cycle on an off....on for about 40 seconds, off for
about 20 seconds then back on.  .. Eventually
tracked it down to my neighbor's sodium vapor flood lights. These lights are
notorious for generating interference when they are on their last legs.  Had
the rig on and observed his light flickering (noise present), going off
(noise gone) and then coming back on (noise returned). Neighbor would not
replace it until it eventually craped out....
