Default Electrical Noise From House & Receive Only Antenna ?

Hello:

For a receiving only application:

Any opinions as to how far away from a house (with the normal compliment of
PC's, broadband, etc. noise producers)
the vertical leg of an inverted-L antenna should be so as not to pick up any
meaningful amounts of household electrical noise ?

I imagine that these fields diminish very, very quickly with distance ?

The reason I'm asking is that the easiest thing for me, by far, would be to
run the vertical leg up the outside of the house, perhaps on 6 inch
standoffs. The high horiz. leg would lead away from the house.

I realize that the further the better, but would 6" be "enough" ?

Any thoughts on ?

Bob
