[SCCC] Effectiveness of MFJ-1026 Noise Filter??

[Bill Shell]

Steve,

In the past, I have a MFJ-1026 I used on 160m, 80m, and 60m.  It was 
effective for me.  My antennas at the time were an OCFD on 160m and a 
rotatable dipole for 80m and 60m.  My noise antenna was a short 8 ft 
center fed dipole on my tower at about 7 ft off the ground.  I don't 
know what the noise source is I have on those bands, but the MFJ-1026 
was effective in helping me copy DX.

When I put up a pair of verticals on 160m, I changed over to crossed 
K9AY loops for receive.  I never compared the K9AY loops to the MFJ-1026 
side-by-side, but I honestly believe the loops are a better solution for 
me.
