Hams with experience finding and eliminating QRM, lend me your 
eyes and ears:

I need your help.  For about a week now, I have been experiencing very
heavy QRM across the -entire- HF Spectrum.  I can even hear it on six 
meters (weaker) through 80 meters. It's so heavy at times, the signal 
meter on my TS 2000 is PEGGED.  It's not ALWAYS there, but it is there
more often than not.  The end result is that it effectively wipes out
my receive capability.  Two meters seems unaffected.

After speaking with KJ4FZT (Grant) my thought on how to find it was 
to use an HF battery operated station, we could hook it up, and then
kill the power mains to the house.  If the interference goes away, 
we will know it is inside my house and troubleshoot accordingly.  
If it doesn't go away, it's outside the house and then make plans
to DX it.

I do not have a battery operated station or experience in finding
interference.  If you have one or both of the above, please let me
know if you can assist.
