John,
I live in a HOA and USE wire antennas for HF.
The band conditions were unusual for 80M.
Signals were louder than normal and the band was heavily occupied; the
MOST I have EVER seen!
So much so I spent 2 hours calling stations I could hear.
ENJOYABLE

Do check this out.
I use the vband site - it is a very efficient way to practice ones cw
skills.
You can just listen.
Some channels have a decoder -so one can see what is sent.

I recommend you order the CW Hotline kit vs USB Paddle Interface -
I experience latency with the USB Paddle Interface
