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.


That's an interesting possibility but probably not useful for multiband
operation considering the antennas will be at the roof which is 4
stories (is that the right word?) above my apartment. But makes me
think of some kind of close phased small monopoles with a separate
preamplifier for each and the phasing network down at the apartment.
Will try to do some modeling and see if it is doable. Reminds me of the
Flag/Pennant antenna. Probably too big.

Thanks,
