Well, when the signals go over the poles they get cold and sometimes freeze up.

Peter,
Your not alone. I don't live far from you and despite having directional
antennas (including a 5 element monobander on 20 meters) I too have a lack
of over-the-pole Q's in my log compared to non-polar paths.
Generally speaking, I think part of the HF polar mystery is the shorter
window
A dipole at 60' should allow you to work Asia on 40m and above; with
this antenna, QSOs would be difficult on 80m and unlikely on 160m.
You'll find a propation forecast between your grid and JA in
http://www.dxlabsuite.com/propview/FN42-JA.jpg
This forecast is based on today's solar flux (79).

uy is the single RF noise source.

So how did you correct it? Did you just turn off everything that
causes noise when you want to use the radio, or did you find
effective ways of filtering out the noise?
