Herb,
I'm lucky enough to live in a small enclave of smaller residences. We control two adjacent buildings, one of which has my shop, a sublet, and guest accommodations. The random wire runs up the side of that building, then goes in a 3/4 loop around the building roof. I'm actually giving some consideration to closing the loop (running that last wall, and then down and connect the other end to the ground) to see if that lowers my hideous noise level.
Farm radios seem to run the gamut from some really poor performers to ones like this one that seem to hear almost everything. I have one farm set, a GE U-80, IIRC, that is quite the set. 3 bands, 8 tubes, vibrator supply (6V). Good performance, nice sound (P-P output).
