I've got to do something about noise pickup through the antenna, but

I use a thirty foot (10 m) piece of coax as a lead in from the wire. I
had a well grounded water tap underneath the connection point, so I used
that instead of grounding the sheath nearer the radio.

Have you heard anything about this active noise cancellation filter:

I currently have a modified MFJ-1026 and a Quantum Phaser. I used to
have an ANC-4 but sold it after I had the 1026 modified. The 1026 allows
for the use of a telescoping antenna or an external antenna and has
jumper positions that can be set that affect the gain of the unit. The
Quantum Phaser has inputs for 2 external antennas and was designed to be
compatible with the Quantum QX series of antennas.

I have had no regrets about selling off the ANC.

YMMV according to your location.
