Hi,

It certainly is a fantastic antenna. While I haven't been able to use
an outdoor long wire, due to covenant restrictions in my community, I
have run as much as 40 feet indoors and the Wellbrook ALA 330S just
"runs rings" around that. I've also used other loops and wires and
both the MFJ-1020 and 1020B as preselectors in varying configurations,
all of which were somewhat disappointing. The Wellbrook is the first
truly satisfactory (and much more than that!) antenna I have found.
Its S/N ratio is unbelievable as is its IP3. I have yet to hear any
spurious signal from this antenna. I first heard about Wellbrook in
PASSPORT and, contrary to their write-up, it is not hard to purchase
one. You just call up THE SHORTWAVE SHOP on the telephone, give them
your credit card number, and in about a week and a half you have it!

I use this antenna with an AOR AR7030 Plus and a Grundig Satellit 800.

Which Wellbrook model do you have and where is it mounted?

My personal preference is to use an Icom R75 linked into a Wellbrook Indoor
Loop Antenna.

Having previously used long wires etc, the enjoyment of shortwave was masked
by interference either mains borne, television timebase or atmospheric.

A few month's ago I purchased a Loop Antenna for the R75 and quite honestly
it has been the best antenna which has been used due to space restriction's.

The R75 comes to life from lf, mf, hf and the 30 MHz + section can be quite
interesting at times.

Interference is drastically reduced by using the loop and my loop is
connected via a short patch lead to the interface and R75 on the same table.

The DSP unit is a must and on the amateur bands, especially at nightfall the
loop exceeds all expectation.

Wellbrook have certainly produced a loop which leaves the competition behind
and I must say that my R75 would never, ever be connected to a longwire
again.

Will provide a digital image of my basic setup if anyone is interested.
