Hi Justin, never used one, but a blind ham friend in north eastern AR has 
successfully used the MFJ mag loops and tuner.  Phil Salas, ad5x has done 
some good research and writing on the subject, Phil, in TX, is not blind, 
but is a very helpful individual.  The Mag loop tuner is rather pricey, and 
the loops can be, unless you make them from wire yourself, but from what 
Phil and Jack/wa5rop says, the tuner is just a two control device, and tunes 
very sharply, but very audibly, using the signal to noise ratio of the 
receiver, and Jack has worked a number of hams inside his/then, Apartment, 
using even QRP,/5watt power.  I forwarded your note to Jack, and you may 
very well hear from him. HTH, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu in GA.
