In my mind, you have eliminated mechanical and radio things. I take your alignment is right. I would at this point suspect interference. What has your weather been like? I have seen episodes of tropospheric ducting do that. I had episodes earlier this summer where I had several days of some serious ducting events. It's usually when a cooler layer of stale air is trapped by warmer upper air. Can you get your hands on an analyzer?
Like I said, the Metageek WiSpy and software is a great little tool for the money. It runs great on my netbook. If I had a 5.8 version I'd overnight it to you.
