Had the exact same noise problem while at BY1QH this past
feb.  and no antenna cured it, I really wish I knew exactly what
type of noise it was, was like no power line noise I have ever
heard, more like a steady qrn type static level, but solid at s8
to s9.  The noise cancellers dont even touch it either.  I know
what the HA's are saying and kinda happy that I wasnt the only
one who had problems, you get the feeling that no one believes
you the noise is that bad.
