Default (Another) MW/LW interference problem

On testing an old car radio with an improvised antenna i have encountered a regular and consistent 'bzzt-bzzt-bzzt' interference across most of the MW band, highest at 1000Kc/s. It is also appearing on LW at around 280Kc/s.
I blamed the test rig set-up, until i tried another radio and encountered the same regular pulse.

Having moved away from the workshop, up the garden and into the house, the intensity remains more or less the same- it therefore looks like it is a reasonably powerful signal, and somewhat distant from the receiver.

At least it shows the radio is working, but what a pain! Any ideas?
