You've got to remember not all of us remember where "here" is.

Are you talking a small number of seconds, such as three to six, or more 
like 30 to 90? Are the on periods and the off ones about the same? Is 
the wobble AM or FM? (I presume FM as you're hearing it, presumably with 
an FM set.)

Ought to be possible to make a directional aerial - at least, with 
directional nulls - to help you hunt it. Might need to connect it to a 
receiver in a screened box if the signal is as strong as you say. 
(Obviously take care, including accepting sighted help if necessary, 
when hunting.)

Are sure that isn't the fundamental?

Depending on how accurate what you are beating it against is, of course.
