 I could not believe the difference in background noise level, it is SO
 quite out here on the farm, I never want to operate back in town agn.
 (still own the house)

   When operating on our local SSB net (28.365 mHz) mobiling home late 
 from my computer club meeting {started at 8 p.m.} (several years ago, 
 before moving to the farm, I would check out when I got a good view 
 of the florescent lites around the filling stations on the south edge 
 of town, if I didn't I would not be able to hear ANY of the stations
 (5-10 miles away) by the time I got up to the GAS stations.

  If you live in a city (or near one,) try to receive in the country 
 and hear the difference for your self, I don't see how anyone could 
 successfully contest from my house in town.
