- Folks on FT-8 use a 2.5 khz ssb wide RX filter. FT-8 is supposed to be good for 20 db below the noise floor. I assume that means 20 db below the noise floor of the 2.5 khz RX filter ? But a 250 hz cw

- Hi Jim, Well, yes on the 5 acres, but still suburban. But, I do notice that FT8 on the vertical 160 T often decodes as well as my DXE 4 sq receive which has directivity and thus less noise. Same comm

- Don't let noise stop you from transmitting. Nope, I am on a 50 x 100 foot lot in town. Try getting a pair of small rx loops, two rotators, and a phasing network. I have two pesky noise sources from
