Default MFJ-1026 or ANC-4

The ANC-4 works on MW, whereas you have to remove filter from the
MFJ to do that.

Count on working with 2 real antennas, not the fake noise stub one.
You'll find it much more versatile.

I have 7 ANC-4's and no MFJ's, on 8 antennas, 2 of them Wellbrook
ALA1530's.

Chief complaint is that the pots get scratchy pretty quick,
because scratchiness is in effect amplified by the null depth ;
fixed with a squirt of deoxit in the 2 tiny holes at the bottom of
each pot (careful you don't get any in your eyes).

Second complaint is that the circuit really needs a bandspread pot
on the phase, as you're into really tiny tiny adjustments at the
bottom of a deep null.

This would be chiefly from taking out a local broadcaster to hear
the broadcaster under him.
