Wellbrook Communications to cease trading in April 2023


The owner of Wellbrook Communications has announced that he is retiring at the end of April 2023 and Wellbrook Communications will cease trading.

The company was best known for its loop antenna which was very popular with short wave listeners, radio enthuasists and government and commercial entities that needed to monitor the short wave bands for whatever reason.

I think it's fair to say that they weren't the cheapest aerials but they did offer customers something that worked straight out of the box.

Sad indeed. Would you consider circuit or build diagrams for folks that would like to build one?

(I could never afford one of the original "Wellbrook" loops.)

I have a recent V3 set of Geroge's (the preamp and bias boards) they work very well indeed. I'm using a 1m dia' loop of scrap heliax for the "loop" itself.
