It may be just my bad luck, but there's been FAR less noise on 15 than there
should be, with a 40m antenna. Neighbors 2 and 3 blocks away are working DX
like CRAZY, on simple 15m dipoles, yet I can't even HEAR the people they're
working on my 40m antenna... and it don't matter if it's broadside east-west
or north-south... same thing holds true every time!
