Thanks to everyone for their responses.

If I wanted to start with installing a balun between antenna and
feedline is this a situation where price does matter? Universal Radio
has The RF Systems Magnetic Longwire Balun (MLB)for $80USD and this one
listed on on Ebayhttp://tinyurl.com/yf3v2lzis $20 (9:1 Longwire,
Balun, Unun,Adapter, Shortwave) Not trying to be cheap, but just to "see
if it works" $80 is expensive and $20 is reasonable.

Also, must the balun be installed outside to work? The more I have
outside the better chance it will be detected by the "Condo Police".

In can be inside, but better outside, and/or as far from the noise
source as possible. Ground it if you can, but if you can't, not the
end of the world. Paint it the color of the building; it will look
like the electric company put it there. I'd try the cheap one first.
You can make your own with good quality parts worth about $10, so the
extra cost is probably not a big factor in performance.

Good luck - noise is a tough thing to quash sometimes.
