Opinion about MFJ's loop antennas
 

I would like to know if anyone had any experience with MFJ's Super High Q
Loop Antenna, model MFJ-1786? I live in a restricted housing community and
was wondering if this is a recommended antenna for installing in an attic to
run HF from 80 M to 10 M with around 100 Watts.

Or, is there another wideband (80 M to 10 M) HF attic antenna recommended? I
have an square attic space of 15' X 15' by 7' high.

Thanks,

Tony S.

How about a 15x15 loop fed with an auto tuner?

It won't run 80m however the 15 x 15 loop fed with an autotuner sounds
like a good bet.
