Hello All:
I have an Icom R71A, that I am using with a 300' (plus or minus
10-20'). I have the antenna coming straight into the house, hooked to
a tentec antenna tuner and then to the receiver. Both the receiver and
the tuner are grounded. I would like to get some ideas on how to
reduce some of the static and to boost the signal on some of the
weaker stations. All suggestions would be gratefull.

Try grounding the antenna at the far end through a 100 ohm resistor (play
around with the resistance but stay between 10 and 1000 ohms). That may
reduce noise but will make the antenna directional off the far end.
