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.

The "birdies" are probably NOT generated outside your QTH.
Put up a long wire INSIDE as your sense antenna.
Do NOT use an antenna that is well coupled to the transmitting antenna!

It is not easy to properly adjust the MFJ, but with a careful tuning,
you can null out the "birdies". Be sure to write down the settings for the
frequencies you,,, frequent.
