Default Noise from other campers

You bet I have, still have even with filters and Toroid s around my wire
inside the 5th wheel, have ground rods I put in as well to my righ and
to the trailer. Problem is the inverters in some of the TT and
5th wheels and motor homes, you would go broke buying toroid s, new
inverters for everyone in the camp ground, Ugh. The other thing is
vertical antenna's have noise, lets face it noise is vertically polarized
and than another problem, so between inverters, and a vertical antenna
if you use one you have two strikes against you right off the bat, Ugh....

Like allot of people I use a vertical antenna's, either my Perth outbacker
off the TV or a High Sierra on a stand away from the 5th wheel. I work
allot of 20 and 40 meters digital so the noise base has not hurt me as
someone on voice....I'm not saying it dozen't hurt me, heck yes in
some case's but I seem to work thought it with my sound card modem
or hardware SCS PCI IIex. Every so often I wonder down on the other
end of the band and work a little CW which I can filter out much of the
noise but again not all........

So like you I wonder what some of the members of this site use to curve
the noise
