Here’s another FD-related question.

This year, our club set up in a recreational area owned by a local industry.  This was perfect except that noise was a problem.  We assumed it was from the two processing plants, which were less than a half mile to the south.  We need to do some mobile ops to see where the noise is coming from, but the plants are the main suspects.

We don’t work many stations from the south, so a directional receive antenna that would favor N to E would be great.  There is info on low-band receive antennas, but none on how they would work on higher bands.

My pennant antenna suppressed noise well on 160 and 80 but I never thought about trying it on higher bands.  It is packed away now, for summer.

Would an antenna like a pennant, flag, K9AY loop, BOG, etc, work to suppress noise from the South and give a better S/N in favored directions on 40M and up?   Would it be possible to scale them smaller for the higher frequencies?
