Cecil,

Please tell me any more information you may have about the ground wire
running down the power pole. I did the exact same thing here. I found
most of my noise was being generated by this ground wire 3 blocks from
my house. Were you able to do anything about it?

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

front yard 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.
