Default Question about the Timewave ANC-4

Steve = tks 4 that, a very informative and interesting post.

I want to ask the group this:
I had a MFJ-1026 noise canceller when I lived in suburban Joburg.
I tried every sort of antenna combination - verticals, horizontals, whips
and Windom's, but the thing never abated the noise to any appreciable
extent, so I gave up on it after a year of fiddling and experimenting.

Now I have passed it on to a friend who lives in a very noisy suburb of Cape
Town. He did no better than me with it and also gave up on it. Now he has a
Wellbrook ALA1530 which gives him decent results.

So my question is this:
Is the Timewave ANC-4 markedly superior to the MFJ1026?

John,

Was your 1026 modified for use below 2 MHz? Mine was modified several
years ago and it worked much better in the mediumwaves after the
modification.
