     YOU WROTE:
     
       ONCE A MINUTE, particularly at night, I get about a
     10 second hit of heavy static - it fades in, and then fades
     out...(Usually when a person is sending their callsign
     & QTH)
     
       I can't figure it out...I've even timed it - and the static
     last between 7-10 seconds, and after fading out comes back
     in again about 30-40 seconds later.
     
     --break--
     
     Q. Does it truly fade out or stop abrutptly?
     
     My guess is a local manufacturing plant doing ultra-sonic welding,
     especially since it's cyclical. Some of these utra-sonic welders use
     3-500Z's and generate tons of electrical noise.
