The amplitude of the interference differs among the bands being more noticeable on some. On 60 Meters it is the worse, and I actually see two different signals on the band, one spaced at 66 Khz and one very square shaped wave every 62 Khz. If I tune one of these signals it comes across as a soft white noise. It's not the worst interference as I can easily tune signals that are not right on top of one of these spikes, and they are actually quite far apart compared to the bandwidth of a typical SSB signal. Has anyone seen this and if so, what is it and how do I get rid of it
