Finally, after having issues with our well and so on I finally got the SDR and the mini whip antenna... Had to get an 8 ft ground rod and got it pounded into the ground...connected it to the shielding of the coax line and got it all working...
Works reasonably well...probably need to run it through a bandpass filter or something to further reduce the noise floor...
Was able to pickup a lot of the AM stations and shortwave, pictured below is the 80-meter amateur band with a lot of SSB (single side band) activity.
