G'day, | higher noise levels than I think I should. On 40-meters, I am getting an average | of S2-4 peaking at S5 around the time thunderstorms begin to form.
What happens when the antenna is unplugged? S2-4 on 40 metres, presumably at night time, doesn't sound particularly unusual to me. That 20 foot "ground" is only "ground" at near DC. Your vertical, whilst not being balanced is the full two terminal antenna and doesn't need a "ground" at the radio to make it work.
