Fred. 

Thank you for reminding the radio does low band AM.  I guess I get too much
into the groove.

At first I suspected the next door neighbor's solar panel but alas, the
culprit was hiding in my own house. It was an old laptop that was not being
used anymore with its' AC adapter still plugged into the house AC but
disconnected from the laptop. 

FWIW, I set the P3 span to max which let me see multiple (3) noise clumps.
This made it obvious that the noise was not random atmospherics. The best
setting on the little radio was the top end of the AM band where there were
no stations (about 1700.) 

Kudos to Elecraft all the way around.
