Just received word from MFJ that my MFJ-1786 magnetic loop antenna has been back-ordered. Booo!
here’s the email I got-

Very few MFJ-1786s are in stock at any retailer. Gigaparts is out, Ham Radio Outlet is out, MFJ doesn't maintain much stock of anything (most of their products are shipped to retailers). MFJ generally makes these loops on an as-needed basis, hence the delay.
However, DX Engineering does have at least one in stock.

Thanks for this Paul!
I was able to cancel my MFJ order (very nice lady on the MFJ desk with s sweet accent!), and then I headed over to DX Engineering and ordered the Loop there.
Only $10 more!
