If the problem is fundementally a very strong and very local noise source,
which is about the norm for QTH's like this, and there is no feed system
problems, the only option would be to use a noise nuller like the MFJ unit.
In
fact I can't see how any suburban 160 user can be without one. For those
suburban/densely populated QTH the more antenna/noise solution tools the
better but
I'd bet the nuller will go a long way in this situation...
