If you have power line noise, I give a big thumbs up to the Timewave
ANC-4. I just got it today and it eliminated my S-7 pulse type noise.
Had to play around a bit with the noise pickup antenna. The vertical
antenna that came with it did not work but by laying the 6 ft piece of
wire (supplied) off to the side I was able to tune the noise
completely out. I am very impressed.

They mention making a small remote antenna out near the noise source,
so I might put something in the attic and connect with some mini coax
to get the wire out of sight. But for the 15 minutes I spent setting
it up so far it can not be beat.

Dealing with noise at my current location has been a royal
PITA. Electrical noises, computer monitors, environmentals have
been increasing in amplitude for the last several years. My dipoles,
random wires (even with transformers), even my rhombic, have been
awash with more noise than signal a few megahertz either side of 11
mhz, and decent DXing has been more or less non existent.

SoooOOOOOOoooo, before I make the investment in something like
a Wellbrook active loop, I've been experimenting in magnetic
transfer after MLB and MTA by RF Systems.

At first blush, with first draft of a homemade MTA, I"ve noted
dramatic noise attenuation 9db, with a signal loss of around 3db on
most signals, which my receivers can more than compensate for.

As the antenna goes through further revisions and as details
become more conclusive, I'll pass along some of my results.

Currently, though, this antenna seems to be an effective solution.
