Antron 99 is up on 12ft steel poles and about 2 sections of it are above the house.radio is a ss9900 all brand new.ive tried turning everything electrical off in the house but makes no difference.Any ideas please or do I just need to put the aerial even higher?? Thanks 👍👍👍

@Andybron

Can you get the aerial further away from the house? I used to get s7-9+ of noise with the aerial mounted on the house, I put it on the garage 20 foot away and it dropped to s1. I can only assume the noise is carried along the mains wires, even if your house is not making any QRM, the neighbours could be producing shed loads of it. The only way is to get as far away from any mains wiring as you can.

From my own experience, getting the antenna a few feet more away from the house can make a big difference. I use an Ampro whip on my garden fence. It started off about 10 feet from the back wall of my house, S7 QRM constantly. I tested it about 30 feet away from the back of my house and it is still S3 but at least I can hear and work something.

The other thing I am going to do is try a horizontal antenna for DX working - the "conventional wisdom" is that most domestic noise is vertically-polarized. I have never seen anything which backs this up properly, but it will be easy enough to test. I will be putting my Gainmaster copy up horizontally at about 15 feet, running away from the house to put it in the "null" and we will see what happens.
