Pete,
Thanks for your thought about my problem. As it happened your mention of a 'controler' sparked my recall of a power pack for the decorative lights at my walkway to my front door. On at dusk, off at dawn. Ding Ding Ding Ding That was it! It is a switching power supply providing 12.5 v AC and enough noise to drown out the entire band and it's on the same breaker ckt my radio was using. I have tried filtering input and out put to no avail so it will be replaced with a DC type.
By the way, in a true twist of irony, when I opened it up I discovered it to be encapsulated in a black tar-like substance much like our beloved capacitor blocks.
