I'm sure you're correct, the knife switch does act as an antenna in
some way. For my current setup, I have unshielded lead-in line which
is acting as an antenna also, so the knife switch's noise input is
trivial.
I live in a rural area of New Mexico, in an adobe house. My radios
are far from my TV's and the only real noise I contend with is the
electric clothes dryer. Lucky, I guess.
You don't have a room for rent do you?
I would love to live "far from the noisy croud".
Here in Lexington KY, DX is a challenge.
Between the TVs, VRCs, PIR outside lights, bug-zappers
(A UV light with a nasty HV section fry bugs),
and the 1001 other noise sources. hearing anything on
SW is sometimes impossible.
I really envy you andyour paradise of quite!
Good listening.
