Wondering how it has been working or if anyone is using. Live in a Restricted sub, but have a Vertical (not enough ground radials due to space and structures. Saw the magnetic loop but worried it may be two narrow for the Panadapter to work- I apologize if has been answered- found question asked a few years back but never saw public answer.

I have an MFJ loop, good for 30m and up. I found it not terribly useful on receive with a wide panadapter on any of the 30/20/15m bands, especially useless to see what was on 20m. I have a separate broad (i.e. all) band receive antenna I use all the time - it’s a “loop on ground”, 60 feet of insulated wire around the base of a big tree, dug just under the sod, connected with a beverage transformer. Works a treat, albeit a bit low on signal strength, but that is compensated for by the really low noise. Totally stealth for the receive antenna :-) Usual tx antenna is in the attic, a ~160 ft loop, again, keeps the HOA hounds at bay.0

I have been seriously considering the MIDI LOOP by Ciro Mazzoni.
Looks good from people's comments.

If you want a Wide-Band receive only antenna the Beverage antenna is a very good performer.
You do need some decent space for this antenna.

It's also quite expensive as well
