One thing you might do is check the cables connecting the different
components of the Wellbrook. At one point I noticed that my loop wasn't
performing as I thought it should and I discovered that the cable
connecting the receiver to the antenna interface had a poor connection
where it meets the interface box. The intermittent connection became
obvious as soon as I jiggled the cable a bit.

Also, where do you have the loop situated? In my experience the
performance of the loop is seriously degraded when used indoors.

Calbe and connectors are good, and have been used to power
the Lankford active dipole I am checking.

I have tried it in a variety of locations.

We even went so far as to drive to the Red River Gorge, an area well
away
from houses, power lines etc.

The preformance just doesn't strike me as being worth the fairly high
cost.

The active dipole beat it every time.
