My suggestion would be to try a small, low, horizontal receiving loop. This
seems to be the best option to reject nearby noise sources that propagate
mainly via vertically polarized ground wave. Even normally horizontally
polarized antennas, e.g. dipoles, still have some projection in the vertical
plane when viewed off axis.
A small RX loop is relatively cheap and easy to implement compared to a TX
loop.

I have one and I also use an LZ1AQ double mag-loop. The mag-loop works
pretty well with QRM from neighbours but it has limitations, especially
when there's more than one source.
The MFJ unit kinda works, but you do need a good 'noise' antenna, which
I haven't installed yet. I'll be using a mini-whip which comes
recommended for the job. Again though, the MFJ has its limitations when
there are multiple noise sources.
From reports I've read, some people find them great and others not so.
Take a look at a couple of YouTube videos, that might help you decide.
