This is my current antenna setup which I am satisfied with. I seem to receive well enough, but there is usually a fair bit of noise which can really impede listening. I'm just wondering if any antenna gurus can point out some glaring problems or have some pointers on how to improve my setup and / or reduce noise.
My primary goal is to get the maximum benefit but have little to no visible wires and equipment outside.
From my primary listening spot, my work bench. The speaker wire is alligator clipped to the external antenna of my TECSUN pl660.
The wire then winds its way to the basement door frame:
It then goes across the top of the frame
Then it winds its way up an unused phone cable. I say unused because we no longer have a home phone, but is it possible I'm getting noise from that wire?
Or from the power outlet?
Then along the eaves
Round the side of the house
It then goes across the peak of the house, then back down.
All in, it is about 100ft in length.
Any pointers? Again I'm pretty happy with the performance but if I can tweak it to make it better I will.
