Nick, I have been observing a similar signal for the past five months or so, but it's usually between 1837-39. I believe that I've also seen it drift above1840 on occasion, but I don't usually tune in that part of the band. I suspected it might arise from a local source or something in my house, but I hadn't been able to identify it. Listening on my RX 4-square, it seems to peak in no particular direction. Earlier in the year I had to install ferrite on the coax going to each vertical in order to eliminate some common mode pickup, but they had no effect on this signal. Since I don't usually operate in that part of the band, it hasn't been a serious problem for me. I can send you a screen shot of the spectrum and waterfall for comparison, but based on your image and description, it looks like the same thing.

Nick Maslon - K1NZ <mailto:[email protected]> Thursday, March 15, 2018 12:48 AM Caught this interference around the FT8 freq. It's causing trouble from 1.8407 to 1.8417. Any thoughts? It sounds like a buzz and seems to zig zag over multiple minutes. https://imgur.com/SgXeJGx Nick K1NZ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
