Hi,

I'm moving to a new urban QTH in and trying to figure out the best HF
antenna installation.

I'd like to have distinct HF antennas for RX and TX: a vertical for TX
where only performance matters and "something" for RX where the main
problem is going to be tons and tons of local QRM.

I don't know what could be this "something". I'd probably like some
kind of loop or small dipole or whatever I can point and can be
isolated as much as possible from local noise received in the
supporting mast and feed line themselves. It should be something
physically small because of neighbors, etc.

I'd prefer to build them myself but would buy them if something seemed
interesting enough.

Feedline is going to be about 100 ft long

What would be your suggestion?

I'm using an 8 foot mobile hamstick horizontal off my back balcony in a
2nd floor apartment. The noise is a problem, but I can mitigate it quite
a bit with my MFJ-1026 which allows me to have a second receive antenna
and beat it against the main transceiver antenna for the purpose of
phasing out the noise.
