Sounds like a case of the dreaded leaky silver/mica caps internal to the IF cans. Results from silver migration across the mica insulator discs. Typically sounds like you're receiving an intermittent thunderstorm with hisses and crackling punctuated by loud crashes. Heat and moisture can make things worse. If this is the case, the defective can(s) can be removed, opened up and the offending caps replaced but its not a procedure for the faint-of-heart. A realignment will also be required in most cases
