Hi Karl Are you talking ham use or BCB use? I use a 160M dipole (2 of them) for BCB DXing and find they pick up less noise than regular LW's. I use the same antennas for 160M ham band use and find they work well and get out pretty good. And the best part they are cheap to make and easy to build. If he can stretch out an antenna about 260' long he's all set.

He lives in a suburban house with about an acre of land situated in a rocky Northeastern environment. There is plenty of man-made noise. Can you suggest an antenna he could install and try for DXing purposes? What do you think?
