I finally went around the neighborhood, and I found three sources of RFI that peg my SWL receiver S-meter when tuned to 3885. Two were in my own house! One was a VCR that produces a nasty broad roar every 250 kc, and the other was one of my (have 2) garage door openers. After unplugging both of these I got an S-8 on the receiver. The third noise seems to be power line type line noise of an impulse type. Looking around the neighborhood, a pole mounted transformer has a very visible rust stain on the side, and a red glowing dot in the middle. Maybe that transformer is on it's way out. This is progress Gents. It helps to know who your enemy is..
