I would take my portable and walk around the yard.. marking where the
signal is strongest and the interference is least..

THEN put an antenna up in those low noise locations

I walked around my backyard last night and to my surprise the whole yard
with the exception of one spot seemed pretty quiet. The only really noisy
spot was near my AC compressor. So I'm thinking that despite the fact that
there's a small power substation with power lines nearby, that most of the
noise I'm getting is comming from within the house itself.

So perhaps my problems will be solved by simply setting up a good outside
antenna rather than using the AN-LP1.
