TW Generally if you have atmospheric or man-made noise increasing the
TW antenna efficiency is just going to increase the noise along with the
TW signal.

TW You could try to make a directional antenna; this would increase your
TW desired signal more than your noise.

I wonder if it would help putting up a short vertical and summing its
signal with such polarity that it cancels the noise from the main
directive antenna? This on the theory that most man-made noise is
by its nature vertically polarized.
