Links to RF and AM audio spectra below. The noise level is about 30 dB above my usual noise floor at the same span.  It is definitely directional, so it's not internal to my station.  It's certainly local. I may have to see if any of my neighbors in that direction has recently gotten an EV.

If anyone can find a clue as to the type of source from either spectrum, Please let me know.

In fact, the audio DOES tell us something: That modulation is clearly audible. If I can hear that with a portable AM receiver, and it makes no difference what frequency it is tuned to over a wide range, I'm tracking the right source.

As I've said, the RF spectrum is virtually flat over the widest span the K4 can display, 368 kHz.  There's just no point in posting an image, which really WILL tell us nothing. (And it's a pain to do with the K4, as it can only save to a USB drive, not directly to the computer.)

BTW, as of 04Z, 11 PM local, it's gone, so it's likely one of my neighbors.
