This is a perfect application for a box like the MFJ "noise canceller"
or the DX Engineering "Noise Canceling Controller" with a pair (or
three) active antennas. Three antennas (one common, the other two at
90 degrees - say in a corner of a lot) wood allow reasonable "null
steering" around the compass using the active phasing control of
the MFJ or DX Engineering boxes.
