I have plenty of sensitivity - my biggest problem by far is RFI from

either put the antennae at an illegally high elevation above the power

moment.


I've done killer DXing in the heart of big cities. Have you tried
running down the interference sources one by one? The mere presence of
power lines shouldn't automatically indicate a lousy location.
