I bought and have been using a Wellbrook ALA330S for the past few weeks.
Andy Ikin, the designer told me that noise pickup is least when mounted at
ground level. I have it in the attic now and it has really opened my eyes as
too the importance of signal to noise ratio. It does not provide the same
high signal levels I get from some other antennas, but it consistently
provides the cleanest, clearest signals...it always sounds best, even when
signal levels coming out of it are lower than other antennas. It is an
excellent antenna and a real "ear opener!"

The Wellbrook performs very well near ground level! From a chap in

The above extensive review should peek your interest. Although I
haven't owned this type of loop before I am seriously considering it
for my noisy RF environs. I only need to figure out how to get it
into and between the attic rafters and mount it on a small rotor.


Height is not that important to a small loop. It will pick up more long
distance signal and even less local noise the higher up it is placed so
like most any antenna higher is better. This antenna will work better
close to the ground over most types with the exception of an antennas
like a Beverage that is designed to work near ground.
