I simply didn't want to deal with any 'VSWR' issues from a dipole

the way I understand it, the sense antenna is supposed to pick up the noise
better than the signal you wish to receive. So VSWR most likely would'nt
matter.

How did you manage to find this arrangement? trial & error? by accident?
I keep trying different things but maybe I am "thinking" too much, maybe
its simpler than what I am trying to do.

Mine seems to work fine with about 25 feet of wire simply run out the

I use an Timewave ANC-4 to reduce noise on the low bands at my location.
On 40 & 160 meters I can reduce the noise almost to S1, but on 75 meters
I can only reduce it to S4-5.
I use a noise sense antenna which is a dipole 4ft on each side about 4
inches off the ground and parallel to the power and telephone lines.
Anyone have one of these units and having any ideas I might try to
reduce 75 meters to a lower S-meter reading?

All my low band antennas are verticals.
