Out here in the this trailer park, we have both dirty power coming from
the AC, and air-conditioning motors from a whole bunch of trailers.
These are problems that cannot be fixed, so I would rather use
defensive techniques such as a Faraday cage

Won't work. Most of the noise is radiated and the point of
interaction is the antenna not the power cord for the most part.

If the power source really is dirty try running on isolated battery
or from the mobile rig in the car. IF you hear it there then you need
to get away from the area.

FYI: the motors used for air conditioning and refigeration are least
likely noise sources. Most are capcitor start induction types, arcing
or other raditional likely sources are not common to them.

Electonics such as TVs, Computers, Electronic Games, Lamp
dimmers and touch switches are your enemies.

Okay, I'll try it first without the cage. I do have my wife's
electronics going through a 30 amp CORCOM filter.
