Jack I've said it before, but perhaps not in this location: my

Jack have tried for months with multiple antenna setups and have not
Jack been successful.

Dick Where the heck are you, Jack? I've received HF from many
Dick locations, about everywhere I've ever been and tried it. Is it
Dick an radio noise environment problem or what? Unless you live in
Dick the middle of one of the BPL tryout area I can't imagine not
Dick being able to receive W1AW on one of the bands..

I'm in grid square CM88wa, between two very large hills which run for
several miles in a roughly north-south direction. My backyard is
twenty-five feet wide by nine feet deep and it is partially shared
with neighboring units. For political reasons, antennas have to be as
invisible as possible, so the highest I can get is six feet off the
ground and six feet from the house. I was able to construct a dipole
with twelve-foot legs, but I couldn't even get WWV, let alone an
amateur station. In addition, the electrical noise gives me a noise
floor of S7 -- some of which is my fault, as I've got six computers
running at any given time. Sometime this weekend I should make a
recording of what I hear on the bands so people can understand that
reception truly sucks at my house.
