Shouldnt that line be rotated along its length to maintain balance as

A big vertical is omni directional and has high signal levels.
This is in contrast to the beverage which has low signal levels
and tries to null out certain directions.  If I disconnect the
vertical from the line, the noise level drops many S units,
indicating negligible ingress due to line leakage.
