Makes sense and agrees with my experience, Gary! BTW, I have worked Alaska
from here in Raleigh with my 2-elevated radial Inverted L. Don't recall
off-hand if it was you, I worked.

I'd run a test wire under the house and connect it to the rig. Listen for
noise. Then connect to house ground and see if noisy. Compare that with each
existing elevated radial for QRN.
Here in Fairbanks anything through the home or grounded to the house or
tower on 160 is worse than my ungrounded elevated radials. One elevated
radial (of 8) near the power line is the noisiest. I disconnect it when it
gets bad.
