My first priority would be a RF quiet location and best prospects of it staying that way - Been in same house over 40 years - last ten years in particular ambient noise and incredible numbers of ever increasing RFI sources overwhelm my ability to try to resolve . I was on edge of town , pitch black at night - little 2 lane road from downtown on other side of mountain preserve . Now 8 lane freeway 400 feet away (because the millionaires and political influence got the proposed freeway route moved from their area) Houses , shopping centers etc as far as you can see - sea of lights and RF noise.
Just sayin ...... If you can't hear 'em you can't work 'em.... well RHR etc . Hank K7HP > On 4/1/2018 7:45 AM, Jeff Kinzli N6GQ wrote: > > So I'm looking to purchase a new QTH.
