I have one of the LA-350 loops from AOR. It's no match for the
Wellbrooks. It's a good antenna, but it's for indoor use only. That's a
profound disadvantage.

It's fairly easy to find an outdoor location for one of the Wellbrooks
and it would be trivially easy to find a spot for one of the H-800
antennas, since they're only around 26 inches in length. There's almost
always a way to get an antenna outside the house, where it's meant to
be!
