Do you or some of the others have any input on this antenna? * *Seems a bit
too good to be true but great if it works.

Thanks for the comparison link,. *I've been waiting for this and maybe a
few more antenna comparisons as well.
There was one advertised recently and I remember it was a piece of coax
that you could lay around the apartment and it supposedly gave you
remarkable results for around $75 plus shipping CONUS. * I've done a
search of cable antennas but cannot find it now. *Perhaps you or someone
can remember this. Anyway thanks for your time.

For the diminishing number of you who are still interested, here's a
link to a review comparing one of the Wellbrook loops to Pixel
Technology's RF Pro-1A magnetic loop antenna:

I still prefer a tuned, passive loop to the amplified, broadband
variety.

The PAR EF-SWL is actually a random wire with a very well made
matching transformer. It is likely to be a very good antenna of its
type. The antenna "radiator" is not a coax, but a plain insulated
flex-weave wire, designed ideally to be suspended at some height above
the ground. If installed properly, it should provide a good signal to
noise ratio.

The Wellbrooks are somewhat more elaborate designs, amplified magnetic
loops. They work very well in RF-noisy places, but you pay for
compactness and performance.
