Thanks for your help Phil.
Yes it's broadband noise with another small higher pitched tone in the mix that does not include any of the assortment of other odds and ends you commonly hear when tuning up and down the band except for one very strong broadcast carrier right down close to 7.000 that's in our area. So if the signal is strong enough, as that carrier and also the 5 watt tone from my ts590 into the dummy load, it will get through.  The noise level is the same whether or not the antenna is connected.  Connecting the antenna, any antenna, bringsSo something is definitely wrong.
