Ham Radio QRN: Have S7 to S9 Noise Problem on HF? Here’s My Solution

For Those Who Have S7 to S9 Noise on HF:

For two decades I lived as a cliff dweller in both city and beachfront high-rise condos before moving back into a single-family home 15 miles from the White House four years ago. In all of those locations, the noise would average S7 to S9 – virtually wiping out HF.

PS: I bought both of mine off eBay for about $110 each …BTW, the telescoping whip antenna was a joke with zero help with any of my noise….ever. Note that a lot of reviews of this gizmo are negative – probably because they did not set up the right noise antenna – maybe believing that the whip antenna would actually work.

Another BTW: an internal switch controls whether the whip is used…I found essentially the same non-results no matter the internal switch setting – but that may have a lot to do with my particular noise sources. If your noise is inside the shack, the whip with the internal switched set to the whip, might even help.
