Having always been suspicious about the effect of feeders
even if 'properly' routed, I changed the feed configuration to the

Hi all,
I am having a ball with my new K2, (S/N 4275). I finally busted through
the 15 WPM barrier and am on my way to 20 WPM. Now to my problem...
My antenna is a 100' length of wire fed by 50' of RG8X Mini. The feed point
is at 10' off the ground through a balun. The wire arches up

I am using a hy-gain vertical (6BTV) and also have a random length of wire.
Both have given me contacts in the US and decent DX - 4X, XE, LU, TI2, TG,
etc. It sounds to me like you are picking up a lot of just plain old line
noise, that is, dimmers, florescent lights and the cursed

Congratulations on your upgrade and getting on the air. I seriously doubt
Here are some suggestions:
1. Read Cebik's articles on antennas (google search for cebik antenna).
Then decide about your lengths and feeding arrangement and see if it
still makes sense in your site.
2. Try turning off all the circuit breakers in your house and see if the
noise goes away

This doesn't have anything to do with your noise problem, but you should
realize that you probably have a relatively high SWR on the feedline and
Hi Terry,
My antenna is a 100' length of wire fed by 50' of RG8X Mini.
The feed point is at 10' off the ground through a balun.
The wire arches up to about 25' in the tallest tree on our
lot and the wire points roughly south. The backside is a
60' length of 12 GA insulated wire thrown over
I agree with Phil, that a ground mounted vertical would pick up more
household noise than a horizontal dipole placed away from the house. See
the Cebik web site; www.cebik.com for antenna ideas that really work for
limited space.
