To make a long story short, I am aware of how a ham operator solved a
similar situation.  Not me, by the way.

He connected his 2 meter linear amp to the incoming cable connection and
went key down for a minute or so.  I undertand it killed the cable service
for a couple blocks around totally.  They fixed it, and the noise came back.
He did it again.  Same thing.  The third time they replaced pretty much all
of the physical plant, and the noise went away.

Amazing what a little(?) unexpected RF can do.  He estimated he put a few
hundred watts back into the system at 144MHz.
