[Elecraft] Mag Loop from MFJ

[Chris Cox, N0UK]

FWIW - I invested in an MFJ-1786 when we moved into our apartment 6 1/2 years ago.  Since then, kit has been out on our 5th floor balcony in central Minneapolis year round, easily standing up to both Minnesotan Winters and Summers with aplomb.

It has not ceased to work in that time and has netted me ~150 DXCC’s on all bands from 30 through 10 metres.  Most of my work is CW by preference although I did break a pile-up a couple of years back to work VP8 on 20m SSB from an ATNO.

To say I am pleased with its performance and capability may be understatement of the decade!  I am absolutely gobsmacked at how well such a physically small antenna plays on HF and am willing to stand up for MFJ (at least in this particular case).

YMMV, of course…
