I'm only using an FT-847 with 100 ft. of ladder line going up to a

Just curious of typical signal strengths people are receiving and with what
kind of antenna and radio. I am using an Icom 718
with an indoor 30 foot random wire. I know, I know I'm going to put up a
better antenna but that's what I've got for now. By the way I'm in Texas.
