I just built and erected an R8. It works really well BUT it seems to be 
picking up some electrical noise
on 10Mhz (S7-S9 and a bit on 7Mhz). It is clean on the other bands (other 
than normal atmospherics). I have several
other antennas and when I listed on 10Mhz with them (7MHz F12 vertical, for 
instance), I cannot hear the
electrical noise, only the signal (attenuated a bit due to non-resonance). 
Feed-line shield? Any ideas?
