I have a dipole just installed in my attic. It is in an inverted V formation. However, due to the inverted V, the ends of the antenna wires come within a foot or two of electrical wire in the attic. that’s causing my noise floor to be too high. (S-4, s-5). I tested the antenna outdoors, and I had about an S-2 noise level. So it’s definitely coming from within the attic. I was going to change my inverted V to a proper horizontal dipole to get the ends of the wires away from the noise producing electric wires. The only thing that I’m worried about is ; I talk a lot to local contacts. Many of those contacts use verticals. Will I completely lose my ability to talk locally if I go with the horizontal dipole? And no, I cannot put the antenna outdoors permanently
