You might want to look at an article in QST by K6STI, who
experimented/made a "noise-cancelling" antenna. It was
a wire antenna, 25 or more feet on a side, with open wire feed
lines from two opposing corners that went to a center pole and
box with a matching xfmr, etc. One of the feed lines was twisted 180 deg
to cancel local noise signals. QST article was Sep 1995, page 33.
and pages following....might be worth a look.
