It is possible that it is a local radar signal you are receiving. Usually a
"pop" or "fizz" that lasts a short time and repeats at regular intervals,
corresponding to the RPM of the dish.

It is usually common in active noise headsets as the circuitry is more
succeseptible to this kind of interference.
