This is a bit off topic but perhaps other P3 users on this reflector have encountered this RFI and have some idea where it comes from and perhaps a remedy? There must be a couple of thousand P3 users on this reflector.
The below is a recording and includes sound of this nasty bit of pulsating RF.

It is not always there. When it is there in the 20-meter band there are siblings almost as strong at the following frequencies:
13.975
14.032-the recording
14.126
14.220
14.282
14.469
In addition, there are less strong signals that follow the pulsation; one is visible on the recording at 14000 (far left on the P3). They are also in the 17 meter band. They are not in the 15 meter band or above.
I have pulled the big switch and it is still there on battery power. My suspension is a neighbor with plasma television. Is this what plasma TV looks like? It is directional in nature and the strongest signal comes from a 40-degree heading, roughly Europe from my location, or to a cluster of homes to my northeast.
