I personally used the MFJ-1024, for four years, when I lived in a townhome.
Rules of the Homeowners Association, left me with little choice back then. I
have to admit, it worked fairly well, and it was quieter than I expected. I
opened up the remote box, in order to solder a longer length of coax for my
installation. All the components in the remote box are coated, to protect them
from moisture. I would however recommend using Coax Seal on each section joint
of the telescopic whip antenna, because it will get a water build-up, inside
the sections. Good DXing to you, Gary
