Lee, I have a friend who has a similar problem and found somewhat of a solution.
MFJ makes a gadget that you feed 2 antennas into. One is your transmitting /
Receiving antenna and the other is just used by this device to vary the pattern
of the T/R antenna. It phases the two antennas in such a way to null out a
direction. if your noise is coming from the direction that you null it is gone.
I had my doubts and thought that it was just another MFJ toy but it really works
with a couple of caveats. The second antenna must receive the frequency you want
to work well. If the second antenna is deaf as a post on the frequency you are
working you're out of luck. The second is that if you have 2 fences on opposite
sides of you it will get rid of one but not both. Hoped I would remember the
model number by the end of this note but no luck.
