Default Noise Immune type of Antenna

Hi,

I like to listen to ham radio HF bands and short wave broadcasts, but
I often have intermittent power line noise. I found a source (power pole,
possibly bad insulator), but when the person from the power company came out
to investigate my complaint, the noise wasn't there (intermittent).

Running a wire antenna perpendicular (not parallel) to power lines is one
way to lower power line noise, but unfortunately, the power lines run North to
South where I live. My wire antenna also runs North to South so it "favors"
East and West, which is what I want.

Can anyone recommend a noise immune type of antenna that is less
sensitive to power line noise?

Thanks in advance, Brad
