Yes, it was MW modified and we even took it on DXpeditions and tried it for
phasing and nulls with the beverage antenna's, but results were not worth
all the knob twiddling, that's why we gave up on it.

don't get me wrong - it did work, that is it was not non-functional, just we
did not get the good results that others report.

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

modification.

Maybe it is a QC issue with MFJ? They seem to be notorious for somewhat
unreliable and variable QC.

Could be - my own MFJ-1026 chops out the offending stations really
well. If I were a MW aficionado, I'd take it everywhere.
