Default SWL in a downtown apartment...(curses!)

I recall reading about a device that would sample the outside
electrical racket and apply it 180 out of phase to the radio input in
order to reduce the interference. Perhaps someone in the group has
information on it.
In the meantime some of the osculators in the streets of Reno could
send you some signals.

MFJ makes one also. But keep this in mind- it is not magic. The principle is
that it picks up noise on a sense antenna. You match amplitude and invert
the phase of the noise and then add that to the signal+noise coming in from
your RX antenna. Theoretically the noise cancels itself.
This will NOT work with multiple noise sources as the amplitude and phase
will be different for each source. If you have one dominant noise source,
like an arcing power transformer, it may be worthwhile.
