A very quiet antenna partially aided by it's ability to be rotated away from
most interfering noise sources. At this location I usually keep it facing
SSE as this is the main direction for my interests, utility monitoring. For
now an inexpensive Radio Shack rotator seems to be working fine. Very nice
to have the ability to remotely control it's direction. Only once did the
drive freeze during an ice storm.
When setting up it's location for best noise free operation, I placed the
assembled unit on a temporary moveable base in order to try it a various
spots around the yard. That spot was soon found although not exactly where
I wanted it. The cable runs are now buried beneath the my wife's flower
beds and a small rock garden and at some length from the house.
For a final touch the amazing 1026 removes almost entirely any lingering
noise. Very pleased with the setup.
Please excuse my not replying to newsgroup posts at times as my job
sometimes takes me away for extended periods. Thanks for your interest and
the best of monitoring to the group.

I'm looking at the Wellbrook, myself, at this location. How do you like
it? And which direction do you have the major lobes oriented? Do you have
to....and do you have the convenient mechanics to...reorient it at will?
