Topband: Noise sources in general

[Bob K6UJ]

We all have our own unique noise situation.  I am also lucky like Bruce 
and my noise is centered
in one direction.  My DX engineering NCC-1 makes it all go byebye. My 
problem is I dont have
enough real estate to do justice to 160M radials.  My inverted L is 
using a folded counterpoise.

It is not infrequent to have multiple noise sources coming from many directions. . . sometimes to the point that they cannot even be localized and identified in which case the Topband DXer is pretty much SOL. . .hi.     73. . .Dave, W0FLS
