The MN8CX core was "made popular" back in the day by ON4UN.  I recall
some (what I jokingly call) "core war shootouts" on the Topband
reflector...people
doing some comparisons between type 73 binocs and the MN8CX cores for
Beverage antennas.   Check out one of John's early Topband
books...probably
has info in there.
