Well my location is 673'AMSL + 160' tower with an excellent HAAT
(Height Above Average Terrain)
I am located "out in the woods" away from most sources of qrm (except my own)
My grounding system consists of a ground ring + 
660' of 1" galvanized pipe running to the pumphouse, where it is always wet.
MW ant consists of 600' of 2 - 8 ga. conductors spaced 8" apart on poles running southward
(was used to power pump before we ran underground cable to it)
This is roughly a 1/8 wave antenna (@ 198kc) worked against ground.
Have picked up signals as low as 125kc on an ICOM 735 transceiver.
