Default Wellbrook question

I have a Datong AD-270 = very noisy antenna.
My DX pals have ALA1530's and I would exchange the Datong for a Wellbrook
anyday.

Perhaps my local noise floor is "good enough" that whatever benifit the
Wellbrook offers is lost. I am trading the newly aquired ALA 1530 to
an acquaintance who lives in downtown Lexington for a Datong
AD370 that was only used for a few weeks.

He is aware of my doubts about the ALA1530's ability but says he has
nothing to loose. When I get a copy of the WL1030 built we will test it
at his condo.
