I always get something on 185.3, I haven't figured it out yet. of course you
know from time to time the foreign broadcast comes in on that freq.

anyone else hearing this besides me in Swansea, MA (FN41kr)? This has been a
nuisance here for quite awhile. Directionally it seems to be coming from the
NW/SE direction while rotating the loop. I also tried snooping around the
house and neighborhood with a portable LW receiver and came up with no local
source. I could pick up the signal from a remote location approximately 3
miles from my QTH. It definitely is not local to my surroundings. I receive
this signal on all rigs in the shack as well (TS-850, IC-R75, FT-920).

disconnected the main breaker in the garage. The noise did not go away.
