[Elecraft] OT: Thoughts on MFJ-1026 or any other phasing box

[Louandzip]

 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.

Take a look at a couple of YouTube videos, that might help you decide.
