Regarding noise on 160M, I have been consistently observing all season long a broad signal, reminiscent of a plasma TV, centered around 1836 KHz. Since it seems to be on 24/7 and my closest neighbor is a half mile away, I don't think it's a TV. Has anyone else seen this signal or is it just local to me?
