Hi Neil,

I'm not sure if it is what you were hearing or not but I noticed that our old pal, the "Buzz Saw" is back tonight. It was hopping frequencies in 10kHz increments. I have some recordings and information on this emission from some time back at:

Take a listen to "buzzsaw09.wav" and see if this is what you were hearing tonight.

At least one source of the interference was found to be a High Frequency Surface Wave Radar operated out of Newfoundland, Canada. It supposedly had ceased operation in the ham bands.

Also check out this ARRL Letter that tells the story of the "Buzz Saw":
