Probably....but that depends on where on the fence itself the actual
voltage breakdown is taking place. The electric fence may propagate the
noise like a long wire but you might get lucky with the NCC-1. I'm not
sure but I believe the best to do in your circumstances is to use an
antenna that picks up the noise the best, whatever that may be, to try
to null against it. If the noise if from some distance away you
probably won't have that much luck. In which case try to physically
separate your EU RX antenna as far away from where you have located the
noise and at a different angle toward Europe. Best to accurately pin
point the exact noise source. I have even heard where one ham designed
a series tuned trap and put it from the wire to ground and tuned for a
null in the 160 meter band. I don't know about this but another choice
is a remote controlled solar power relay for night time operation.
(Probably not recommended in your part of the world.)

I got distracted and forgot to ask..if the offending QRN (electric fence in
my case) is in the same direction of interest (Europe for me), does that
mean all signals in that direction are nulled?
(I would think not, but I have never used one, so pardon the question)

Herb,
This is very interesting to me. I hope this helps your noise. I have had
11 glorious year of owning a silent QTH. Now I have a neighbour who has an
electric fence which bothers me terribly.
Spikes are every second (or so) and on 160m they are 20/9 (and that's with
the NB on ! ! ! ) dwindling to audible on 2m when the beam is aimed that
way.
I am not fishing for comments on how to fix the fence, nor deal with the
neighbour; That ship has sailed.
What I WOULD be interested in knowing from everyone is does the NCC-1 deal
with electric fence (ie: pulsing) QRM?
Thanks much and good luck Herb.
