Just food for thought, propagation naturally runs north and south with the magnetic poles. For this reason I usually point my dipoles east and west pointing the lobes toward the sides that need the most help. 49N huh? Is it easy to get can-am dx up there? How many elements on your cubical quad...
After scanning the band it seems like you might be right I hear what I think are a couple control frequencies and lots of digital noise on other channels. Too bad it used to be fun to hear the different planes coming and going.
I’ve never seen this feature this could be from before my time. I’m doubtful that radios nowadays have this tuned circuit but maybe so. Worth a look in the destruction book. I suppose one could bond all the body panels and the exhaust if they were serious on this road but I still lean towards a...

Two most effective things I found as a car stereo installer was improving ground at the radio chassis and choosing a brand with a good receiver usually Sony and pioneer. I suppose if a guy was really serious you could mount a variable capacitor in line maybe mount it in the junk box of your rig...

I’d do a half wave doublet with a small matchbox won’t eat up your power and if you want you could mount it in the attic and forget the wind and snow. If you’ve got the real estate make a double five eighths wave dipole on channel 38 aka a double extended zepp. Smaller antenna collects less ice...
