Couple that noise with the QRN that develops on that freq. not nice.
Yes, these new bands are very much about TX and RX antennas and dealing
with electronic noise. I haven't been on the new bands yet, but I've
heard that K1JT's WSJT modes like JT65 and JT9 that allow copy deep into
the noise are quite popular there (and why I would also expect to see
FT8 activity). NO3M was one of the first experimental licensees, and has
a VERY impressive RX antenna farm. Follow the Antenna links on
http://no3m.net/ There's also a lot of detail on TX and RX equipment.
