I've had a very similar problem, 20-30dB over limit, wideband from 30MHz to 1GHz. Once was continuous, and was found to be a fluorescent fitting in a corridor about 60 feet away inside the building. Another incident, with identical EMI characteristics, but happening about 4 times a day for durations of 1 to 2 minutes, was traced to a fluorescent fitting in the Secretaries toilet! The source may be closer than you expected......... Just a suggestion, Chris Dupres Surrey, UK.
