I use my 110ft top doublet at 40ft as a Marconi T fed against some earth rods and a single quarter wave radial. Works well for both inter G and longer distance stuff, worked Afghanistan the other evening and had lots of W QSO’s last season, also had a WSPR report from Antarctica.....
Luckily my QTH is relatively quiet apart from drifting SMPS and Inverter racket from my neighbours solar stuff.
