Am I a good candidate?

[jchonig]

I received my invitation for a System Blue and am doing my homework.  I live in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.

I am 3km from antenna towers broadcasting on 1160kHz at 5000W, is that an issue?

My house and pasture is surrounded by electric fence for sheep and dogs, closest it comes to the house is about 15-20m.  I get arching when wires touch and when vegatation grows onto the fence.  Will I be able to compensate for interference this close and still be a useful contributor?

Thanks.
