Folks,I have read most comments about those with noise problems.A have used a tuned home-brew Magnetic loop. The narrow bandwidth lets in less noise. I rotated it to null (minimize) the local noise.
I also have had success reducing Power Line BUZZ (120 Hz) bydocumenting the problem by photos. I then emailed the .pdf to the local electric company. Their engineer is equipped with ultra-sonic big ear, a V/UHF yagi and RFI receiver.
 Some photos of the IC-756P3 spectrum scope and some screen captures of spectrum view did the trick. Once the power company was able to scheduleabout six crews with tall bucket trucks it only took them two days.
 I have been blessed with low or no PL Buzz for the past 3 years. I also have been very pleased with the MFJ-1026 using an external sampling antenna.I would be glad to share more info, my email is good on qrz.com.
