[UK-CONTEST] Noise Floor

[Justin Snow]

Indeed Alex,
I have certainly operated from such places.  Activity from home is now 
almost zero for me mainly because I struggle to hear anything other than 
the strongest signals.  My new neighbours recently had a Sky TV system 
installed and that has made a real mess all over the HF bands.
One of the good things about contests is I can make arrangements to go 
to a good location and do a contest.  Not so for DXing and Ragchewing etc.
