I'm getting this very bold pattern - but only on 20 meter band. Does anybody recognize this? See screenshot image.png

    It appears to be at 244hz intervals across the band

    [{"insert":"Thank you for your responses.\n It turned out to be caused by two different devices.

    Are you running these devices from wall warts? if there 12 to 15 volt devices you can probably run them from the station power supply.

    My “washing machine” QRN looks a lot like that.

    If it is local to your shack and ferrites or other filtering don't work, you might want to think about a noise canceller like the Timewave ANC-4 or the MFJ unit.
