sometimes parks itself on 50313, the 6 meter FT8 frequency.

I strongly recommend NK7I's technique, using a wide waterfall from an SDR over 24 hours to study the comings and goings of what are often multiple sources, and identifying one or more as what you're hearing. This gives clues about WHEN to DF it, and on what frequency(ies).

Also, my applications note about using that spectrum/waterfall to determine whether the source is electronically generated or arcing, usually in the power distribution system.
