Default Recomend Size of Aux Antenna for use with MFJ-1025/6 or ANC-4

Have a MFJ-1026 noise canceling signal enhancer and have determined that the
only way it can really achieve the desired results in most cases is with a
remote antenna.

I use a 40 meter double extended center feed zepp on 80 and 40 meters with
great results. Recent birdies (Noise) from a man made product which I can
not track down gives me S-9+ signals on 80 meters and around S-7 on 40 every
17 kc's.

I have read were some success using a 20 meter dipole has provide a strong
enough signal for the MFJ to be effective. I am thinking of using a 40
meter dipole 40 feet lower than the Zepp and around 40 feet parallel to the
Zepp. That large of a antenna however might induce to much RF on the Aux
antenna connected to the MFJ and cause future problems.

Looking for recommendations from users of the ANC-4 or MFJ-1025 or 1026.
Your input will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
