[TVI-RFI-EMI] IRRITATING NOISE ON 17

[Bill]

This started a while ago, 17 was one of my favorite bands but now this 
constant noise is getting irritating.

The noise floor jumps from -120 to -100
Each pulse is 3 to 5 seconds in duration
and they occur approximately every 4 to 5 seconds

no discernible signal mode, just wide band noise making 17 meters really 
annoying. And 17 is the only band I hear it on.

It's far worse when I turn my beam to the NNE or SSW   (obviously I'm 
hearing it off the back of the beam also)
SSW is down a bit so I'm suspecting something to the NNE. No Industrial 
in that direction for many miles, in fact, it's a EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE golf 
course.

Unfortunately NNE is Europe for me and SSW is Pacific. LOL

Rain of shine, makes no difference so I'm doubt it's Com ED on a pole or 
insulator.

This is a densely populated residential area so it's not like I can 
shoot out offending insulators like in the old days.
I tried the walk around with a portable radio and couldn't find anything 
that made the noise level change at all.
