Hi all, lately I've been having some interference come up when trying to join 
in on the Stir-Crazy nets when I am portable during the week.
Around the HCU campus between 12:00 and 13:50, I notice the same four narrow 
peaks of S9 splattering noise - not quite harmonics of 60Hz but not just static 
either. It reminds me of what DMR sounds like on an FM receiver. They are 
strongest on 146.915, 146.935, 146.955, and 146.995MHz. 146.94MHz is noisy but 
sometimes copyable. My rudimentary understanding of RF harmonics led me to 
check 440.86, but nothing was heard there.

Any advice for someone who just has an HF radio and dual-band HT to investigate 
more? I take the antenna off my IC-W32 and it all goes away (including 
receiving 146.94 too), so DF’ing that way (unless I find the fundamental) is 
out of the question.

A thought was to have a classmate use an RTL-SDR to scan outside amateur bands 
to see if there are harmonics elsewhere, but I have yet to do that.
