Andy:

I concur with your supposition that the cable modem noise is
from the main cable line feeding your home. I have the same noise emanating from the cable distribution box at my rear property line. It is a pulsating noise, very strong between 13
to 21 MHZ. I have a Titan vertical about 25 feet from the buried line and distribution box. I chased it down with a transistor radio. I havn't contacted the cable folks yet,but, I imagine I have a snowballs chance in **** of getting it remeadiated. The noise is pulsating and throws a snow line
across the psk31 screen every 3 to 8 seconds...not enough to
preclude copying data but an obvous pesky problem non the less. This noise started last year mid summer after the cable
folks did some upgrades. 

Regards,

Tom N8TL
