Well, it's been a long time coming, but the mystery is solved,

you
believe in the end it was just a TV. I think someone even
suggested it
may
be a television, and I nearly disregarded the idea for it's
simplicity.
Well, it looks like I can finally get back to enjoying my radio
as I
haven't
in a good while. Thank you to everybody for your help and
suggestions.

Ok... so what was the nature of the problem? And what did you do
to
eliminate
it?

Well, as to eliminating the problem, I just unplugged the thing. I
suppose
I'll just plug it in whenever we want to use it We generally don't
watch
much tv and rarely use this particular one anyway. For some reason,
it was
causing some buzzing about every 130 or so kHz. I'm not really sure
why, but
the tv was kind of an old one, and not a very decent one to start
with. This
morning I set the radio on a frequency where the noise was present
and
turned the gain up so I could hear the radio as I walked around the
house. I
unplugged just about everything in the house, unfortunately I didn't
start
with this particular room, and when I pulled the plug on that set
the noise
vanished. That's pretty much it.

So was it off when it was plugged in?? My problem
only kicks in when the crt gets energized, and chokes
don't help it. (I just wait until the wife goes to bed
to do some serious listening.)
