 Sadly, no.  A mea culpa and apologies to all who replied.  When I removed 
power to the shack, of course the KAT500 antenna tuner turned off.  I had put 
it in bypass mode, however, that wasn't good enough since it defaults to port 
one and my vertical was on port three.  So effectively, I disconnected the 
antenna when I removed power.  When I reran the test today with a jumper around 
the tuner, there is no change in the noise with the house un-powered.
I am satisfied that the noise is external.  

I don't know whether I can make attachments on this site.  If so, I have some 
screen shots.

 Hello,

This indicates that the RFI is in your home.  This is great news, it 
means you can fix it as fast as you want, and you don't have to wait on 
people...  Take a look at:

I have a handy flow chart there that may help you locate the RFI...

Please report back on what you find it to be...

73, and thanks,
