I had hoped the
Wellbrook ALA 1530 would reduce noise from nearby homes, but either
the whole
lopp concept is flawed, which I believe, or my in location all the
noise is "far field" and
a loop won't help.

Curious that Wellbrook states that the 1530 will operate best when it is
about 30ft away from your home and for best MW reception mounted near the
ground. It alegedly performs better on SW when mounted up high at the cost
of MW reception.

Where's that credit card!? LOL
