Looking at only the spectral display it's a fair match for a regular
enemy of mine - the Variable Frequency Drive motor (VFD) in any number
of newer front-load washing machines, air conditioners, etc.
Have you or a close neighbor bought any new appliances lately? I can't
use HF hardly at all when the XYL is running the washer, and the antenna
in question isn't all that close to it.
