So why are you posting to an amateur group? Why an antenna group?
You would be better served through your self-imposed limitations by
staying out of the fast lane.

Richard,
Probably to a lot of people a radio or electronic hobbyist is an "amateur".
Impression I get is that some CBers think so also. From looking at old
literature, the search for the holy grail of a noise free antenna, seems to
back to around T=0. It would help, if the manufacturers of SWL receivers
would add noise blankers in sub $500 radios. I did not see any in the AES
catalog below that price that claimed to have a noise blanker. I won't even
delve on IF filter shape factor.
ps. I can beat your 40 years by about 10.
