Just a hunch, but VY1JA, Jay Allen in the Yukon, had a similar problem, and
it bugged him for some time. He stumbled on the cause, when he remodeled
his kitchen, and had to pull a certain circuit breaker which made the noise
go away. Traced the problem to errors in wiring the circiut breaker box..a
totally unexpected cause...
You might be close...
he may not have an email anymore, but try j.allen@yed.yk.ca

I run s7-s9 noise 24 hours a day on my Kenwood TS-870 transceiver.
I have noticed that there are no ground rods grounding the D-Mark box
for cable tv and telephone or internet services. Instead, they ran a #8
wire or maybe 10 wire 35 feet on top of the ground over to the power
pedestal and wrapped it around a screw on the top back side of the
pedestal.
To me this doesn't seem appropriate or correct. Could I be picking up
noise thropugh the 35 foot wire on the ground which may be actng as an
antenna and comming into the home?>
Also, this is an older home with the older type wiring and it does not
have or include the three wire system ONLY two-wire. I notice this
predominantly on 160 meters.............
Any help and or suggestions greatly appreciated. Sorry for the
bandwidth on this, but I've had this problem now for sometime and I'm
new to this reflector so please excuse the ignorance at this time.
