A wellbrook loop is a very SMALL loop about 1M diameter.
Plenty of elevated wire as high as possible is the answer on  LF/MF

Hello Mal,

It  was  me,2E0ILY. Thanks for the info. The Wellbrook loop is a large
aperture  wire loop, but as G0LUJ is a  coastal location I think maybe
that flatters the signals. I guess I should try a long resonated wire first 
then!
