My verticals are at the rear of the property and farthest away from power

and are more susceptible to AC line noise. Although I also expected the
verticals to be "noisier", due to locations the dipoles are a little -
but barely - noisier than the verticals.

It certainly depends upon location. At my previous QTH,
the horizontal dipole was, on the average, 2 S-units
quieter than the 40m vertical. I tracked the noise to
a 30 foot ground wire running down a power pole.

Thanks for the comments, which confirms most of what beleive was the case.

The QTH is Northam in Western Australia, about 80km east from Perth. All
other major population centres are DX.

The nearest distribution transformer is about 250metre away as is the 22kV
HV feeder with only 240/415V low voltage in my street, therefore noise
should be low from this source.

The only thing to do is build it see!
