In addition, I would suggest to place your site as far as you can get it from above-ground power poles.
Our site is located about 250 feet from the closest power poles. We started out with a clean site with occasional random interference which eventually grew until it washed out any meaningful measurements. We established which poles it came from with the use of a log periodic antenna and a 2x4 "baseball bat". You could see immediate improvement while the power company unwrapped and re-wrapped the wire on the insulators. I hope you have more choices and better choices for a site location than we had.
