I saw a post about finding sources of noise, and I would like to share one that surprised me. The other night, I had 20/s9 noise on 75 meters all across the band. I got out my portable AM radio and was trying to find the cause when I heard a click and the noise was gone. I knew something had been turned off, so I went upstairs and asked my wife. She had just turned off the 'puck' light that is under the kitchen cabinet. When I turned it back on, there was no doubt!
It is simply a 12V incandescent bulb. Apparently the small metal box in-line on the power cord is a switching PS instead of a step-down transformer.
