subject: help with ant problem

-> SE> is there anyone that can solve my ant problem? my problem is i
-> SE> can't put up any outside ant's in the apt building i live in so
-> SE> I put up a  horizontally polarized inverted V ant in my radio
-> SE> shack. it is 21 feet  each side. it is the best that i can think
-> SE> of at this time but it does  not work very good i get a lot of
-> SE> noise and bad signal strength when i  get anything in at all
-> SE> through the noise. does anyone have any ideas  to solve the
-> SE> problem?
->
-> To calculate the length (in feet) of each half of a dipole you divide
-> the freq in Mhz into 468. Your antenna dimensions would be suitable
-> for 22.285 Mhz. Is that where you are trying to operate? There is no
-> ham band there.......
i lenghtened the ant to 23' each side and i have a mfj 900 ant tuner.
also i founded the source of the rfi it was the cable tv box tn my shack
but i still have the problem with weak sig. i have messed around with
all kinds feed lines in atempt to make it work better with no luck.
