Indoor apartment antenna rfi
Concur!? Apartment operation sucks.? The ultimate solution is to move.
Some relief might be had.? Run your radio on battery power and pull your main breaker.? If your noise level is significantly reduced, there may be some relief found in cleaning up your own noise generators.? If the noise remains high, your neighbors are your main noise source.? You might ask them to work with you to reduce noise.? But that can become a problem too.
Although my home location is very quiet, I enjoy portable operations myself.? Just yesterday I was up on the highest summit in Northern Bavaria, making contacts on 40m-30m-20m.? Some of the signals were S-0, but the contact was completed.
Good luck.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI hear some have success with a magnetic loop antenna. MFJ has one or you can build. Turn it to null the noise may help. Apartments are a soup of rfi generators. I suspect that there is a way to make an antenna work somewhere in your situation to a certain extent. Do you have a balcony? Move the antenna to different places and try. Geez the way the bands are (lack of sunspots), even those with tower based antennas are finding conditions somewhat challenging. Consider doing some hamming in the great outdoors. A park away from the rfi can yield a zero noise floor with an antenna thrown up in a tree. Nothing like being in the middle of a local forest or large park away from all noise, you will be amazed at what you can hear. 73 Chuck
