    Base antenna, High noise floor tips..

    Ok after looking at pic this is just my thought..a choke at the feedline at antenna. Also unplug electronics in the room and check for any difference. Does that AC unit run during the day? A ground wouldn't hurt but may not help either. Possible to raise the antenna a bit?

    Is it worth it to change the coax to RG8X? I will never run more than 300 watts through this.
