Same sad story - in a 4th floor apt, no possible way to ground my IC-R75 for HF use and lots of noise on the bands.
Has anyone tried or is anyone currently using the MFJ 931 Artificial Ground with an IC-R75 or HF receiver?

Does/will it reduce noise?
I read the manual and it seems to electrically balance a counterpoise wire you would run around the floor if no proper ground is possible. It states that this reflects RF energy back into the antenna and increases signal strength - but my antenna is usually a thin wire hanging out of the window.
Experiences\thoughts appreciated!
