David,

I have seen this too and as displayed on Argo looks identical and has 
the same behaviour.

I can't recall the frequency but I may have noted it at about double the 
frequency you note but I my recollection may be faulty. I haven't looked 
for it in some time figuring it was just some EMI/RFI from yet another 
consumer electronic device of some sort like a smart water meter, or 
smart hydro meter, or (fill in the blank).

With a bit of detective work I might be able to track down the source 
but it hasn't bubbled to the top of my "to do" list yet as it hasn't 
really been a bother.

Do post your findings if you do figure out what the source is.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
