Even with all power off in my house I have a solid S5-S7 with both the President Lincoln II + V4 and the Anytone AT-5555N II on a Maco V58 antenna. I'm not near any above ground power lines and live out in the sticks a bit. I'm just thinking back to when I was a kid in the late 1970s and I could hear local folks a long ways away (40-50 miles some times) because the noise level was 0.0. They would not even move the needle but I could just barely make out their voice. Maybe the radios were just a lot less sensitive then too.
