Rockland County is north of New York City. My county is at the opposite end of 
the state between Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY. It's either two different sources 
of interference or has one heck of a footprint.

  Same question - are you within line of sight of any military installations?

  We had a lovely buzz saw sound happen about 6 months ago interferring with 
some sattelite downlink equipment here in the valley and would wipe our UHF 
repeater up on the hill... It primarily happened between 5 and 10 pm local 
time...

  Eventually tracked it down to electronic warfare equipment onboard visiting 
aircraft at the air force base about 50 miles to the south... As soon as the 
wargames were over, the interference to both the sattelite downlink (Fox News 
SD in this case) and the UHF repeaters up on the hill went away. Haven't had an 
issue since.

    Yes, I'm getting it in Rockland County, NY on one of my UHF machines. 
    I'm told that the noise I'm hearing, which I only hear every "blue 
    moon", is some sort of military radar.
