No experience with the MFJ but I do have an AlexLoop and it's pretty
versatile, sets up fast, is fairly immune to things around ... and
ground or the lack of it. It's definitely QRP, I'm not sure I'd want to
fool around with a mag loop at 100W. Narrow band [really] on 40 and 30
but tunes easily, I use mine mainly activating SOTA summits.
One thing you need to know if you don't already, most are resonant
transformers and *MUST* be exactly at resonance. Getting it close, like
3:1, and letting the ATU do it's thing is a recipe for a dummy load.
Bypass the ATU.

Does anyone have any experience using a MFJ-1786 with a K3? I live in
a 2nd floor condo in a 5 story brick building. Considering a magnetic
loop on my balcony to get back up on HF.
