Or should I take down my vertical transmitting antenna and replace it with a

Neither. I was suggesting (and obviously not very well) that you use it as
a receiving antenna. It's very low noise. It makes a good transmitting
antenna too, but you need to have a big enough balun and termination
resistor to handle the power.

This could be a very interesting experiment. Try the
T2FD but in steps.

1. Ordinary horizontal single-wire dipole

2. Ordinary horizontal folded dipole

3. T2FD

Reporting the noise on those three configurations
vs the vertical would be of wide interest.
