Couldn't agree more...I live in a very old part of the city here...surrounded by 
industrial users of power, a leaking power grid and a utility that doesn't care.

Since I've gotten back on the air the K2 sits on the desk, glaring at me because 
it's virtually useless with S9+ QRN.

If I'm lucky, I can operate between 2 AM and 6 AM, as long as I turn off the oil
burner since it too acts like an arc gap.
