It was. I was concerned about MW sensitivity as well as upper HF. LF
is pretty much a wash around here. Only a beacon or two. And I do listen
10 meter hams, so the upper limit of the MTA, and the good MW action
down to 500k was a more desireable curve than the GMDSS with it's roll
off at 25 Mhzr and extended response down to 100k.

I may spring for the GMDSS later, to compare, but for now, the MTA
gets me precisely where I want to go.

Rare for a single antenna to meet so many needs out of the box.
