Hi Dino, Regardless of what antenna you ultimately decide to build, before you even make an offer on a piece of property, go there with a mobile receiver and check to see what the ambient QRM level is. We have already read in this group about this very subject from a ham that is unable to use 160m due to the QRM from pot house grow lights some 3/4 miles away. LED lighting is a well known source of QRM.
Certain types of TVs and even solar power inverters can cause horrendous amounts of QRM which can render top band useless. It is interesting to note that there are no FCC spurious emissions requirements for solar power equipment. Good luck and hope to see you on top band with a big signal. 73, Fred, K9VV _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
