Topband: Noise level

[Rick N6PE]

Guys,

When you talk about noise on 160 what mode/bandwidth is the one you are supposed to use?

On AM my noise is 20 db over 9...... 10 over on SSB and CW and S-5 to S-7 in narrow CW depending on the VBT setting.

Also, what is the "rule" about daytime vs night noise........ something was mentioned about if your night time noise drops or rises (I forget which) you may as well give up.

Thanks
