You're not the Lone Ranger, Kemosabe.  I see it, not a spur for me, goes 
away without the antenna.  I also see "moving humps", sorry, no other 
description, that drift from time to time, and generally upwards in 
frequency but not always.  They go away with no antenna too.  There's a 
whole lot of very weird electromagnetic radiation out there.  I can see 
an ET or conspiracy theory developing here, I think I'll decline.

And your use of "anomaly" conforms to NASA standards.  It could be an 
inop indicator, or pointy part of the rocket in the sand somewhere south 
of Phoenix.  A truly useful term.
