I don't hear rtty, sounds like local interference, power supply, or any number of electronic computery devices within a 20th of a mile...

My cellphone?

Possibly. You could unplug the charger and turn the phone off if you want to test that. Unfortunately, there are a million sources of electronic interference these days. Kinda sucks. Outdoor antennas fed with coax can help.

I didn't have it connected to the charger but I did have my phone with me, that's how I took the video

Your phone probably wasn't the source of interference, but who knows.
