Not everyone has the same antenna system or distance from potential
noise sources, which could explain all the differing opinions.

In my shack, where a fluorescent lamp is located only four feet from
the rig, I recently switched from a 40 meter coax-fed dipole to a
random wire with counterpoise directly into the K3, no coax. Lots of
noise.  Turn the switch off, noise goes away.  Not a problem with
coax-fed dipole.
