I read with interest the comments about the Welbrook Loop, raised by the 
review by Steve G0KYA in this month's Radcom.   I have used one for the past 
3 years and think the review is very fair.   While it is true that the loop 
is not so sensitive as a well placed wire antenna, it does assist in 
overcoming the noise problem which is severe in many surburban areas.   With 
only a small garden, I could not operate on 600m without one.   To obtain 
best results, it should be placed well away from house and shack, where most 
electrical noise originates.   Normally is is not necessary to mount it high 
up, and best results are often achieved with it close to the ground; mine is 
a metre off the ground.   For the above reasons I would not place it in the 
loft where power cables usually run.   I have interlocked the loop power 
supply with the key or PTT, so that the loop is dead during transmission. 
Finally, it is a well engineered device which I would not be without.
