Because these noise cancellers did not work very well for me and required
constant fiddling I got a Pixel magnetic loop.
These units have the ability to null out plasma noise as well as being
non-responsive to power line type noise.
It is a receive only antenna about 40" in diameter mounted on a 10' conduit
in the yard.
It is portable as well....I can disconnect the coax and walk away in 26
seconds.
It has a broad band amp at the loop and I use a 18db DXE amp under the desk
to get the received signal equal to the main antenna.
The directivity increases as the frequency goes up.
It is expensive....$500 but if bought direct from Pixel it has a 30 day no
questions asked money back guarantee if you are dissatisfied in any way.
It is the difference between going permanently off the air or continuing to
operate.
I cannot stress how well this thing works.
It took my 20/9 noise to S1.

@Jim Brown..
What you say is of course true -- you can only kill one at a time. That
said, you can often times choose your target, by adjusting the phasing.
Getting rid of the most offensive noise source will usually allow you to be
reasonably operational again -- my goal.
If you use two antennas that are both capable of good tx performance, then
you have an additional weapon: switching the two antennas around.
You can do this by installing a dpdt switch in the unit and doing a little
rewiring.
The main PITA with cancellers is the time you spend getting the adjustments
right.
Out Dammed Noise!
