 How close and exposed was the rig to a medium or high power
 radar installation?  Sounds like that (audio rectification).

 That was a problem with the air defense radar at Almaden Air
 Force Station (Mt. Umunhum, south of San Francisco) being
 rectified in all the home stereo systems in what is now called
 "Silicon Valley" until that radar was replaced by PavePaws at
 Beale AFB.
