Best so far Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
During my years in radio, I have owned and constructed many loop aerials including small magnetic transmitting loops which unfortunately I had to stop using after having a pacemaker fitted, as a result, I have concentrated on receive loops during the last 10 years.

I have purchased or built most of the available receive loops and have found some no better than a dummy load while others performed very well with the LZ1AQ loop probably the best performer! until I purchased the Wellgood Loop amplifier from G80CV and M1GEO.

I fitted the amplifier into a waterproof enclosure and attached a 1-meter diameter COAX loop made from RG213 using waterproof glands where the COAX enters the enclosure. The loop is mounted on a tripod about 6ft above ground and 25 ft from my house and my HF wire aerial.

The aerial has been tested on my SunSDR2 DX, Hermes Lite 2+ and RSPlay SDRDuo with equal performance on all three SDR’s

The performance between 160m and 20m is outstanding with 40 and 30m being the best performing bands providing a S/N better than any of my other loops.

To listen to some Wellgood loops on air browse to http://norfolk.george-smart.co.uk:8073/ and http://sdr.gb0snb.com:8073/

I have no connection with the Wellgood Loop other than as a happy user!

Highly recommended de Terry G4POP
