I am using an MFJ-1026 while waiting for my Misek to arrive from Steve Ratzlaff - The 1026 has a couple of FET stages (and an extra one in the AUX Antenna input). I run an ALA100 loop into the MAIN input and a 6' helical OMNI passive whip into the AUX input. I have no problem, whatsoever, reducing CFAX 1070 (250kw ERP [antenna gain factored in ]) to about an S7 tops. The CFAX xmtr is about 4-5 km from me - I can see their tower out of my window. They concentrate the bulk of their RF directly at my QTH which sits directly between their XMTR on one of the islands off of Oak Bay and Victoria. My only other local irritant on 900khz (the Camosun College radio station - 10kw) has never been a problem. After the last few days of phasing with the MFJ-1026, I can honestly say that: a-) My interested in domestic DXing has been totally rekindled and b-) I cannot imagine listening w/o one of these tools. Many thanks to Walter Salmaniw for planting the phaser seed and Steve Ratzlaff for building this fine product. -- Colin Newell Editor-Creator www.coffeecrew.com | www.dxer.ca Webmaster - www.bobharris.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
