Steve do you have your wellbrook mounted on an antenna rotor..
how far from your home do you have your wellbrook located.
as i read on the wellbrook website that they recommend the loop to be
mounted as far as possible from your home...
i have quite a large garden about 45 feet long by about 20 feet.
20 feet being the longest distance from my house...
is it just me or is the entire HF band suffering bad conditions as in the
daytime hours my receiver is receiving 9+ of mush and i can hardly hear any
stations over this mush only very local transmitting stations. and it don't
seem to get any better at night time with only a slight drop in mush.....i
may well order the Wellbrook.
is there much difference in the wellbrook ALA-330S and theALA-1530 loop....i
normally listen into most of the HF bands from 5.000kHz to 30MHz depending
on what i want to listen to and the time of day or night..

Thanks: John


I decided to plunk for a Wellbrook ALA-330S. I was very nervous about
spending a lot of money on an antenna, but the Wellbrook's many
positive reviews finally convinced me to take the 'plunge'. It turned
out to be the right decision. The Wellbrook works very well and is the
perfect choice for someone, like me, who lives in or near an urban
area. It works beautifully...no kidding.
