In addition to the loops already mentioned, there's the MFJ 1888 broadband amplified loop. I bought one some time back mainly just to see how well it worked at LF, which is my primary use for receive-only amplified loops. The MFJ loop does not work at LF despite the typographical claim in the ads in QST magazine claiming "reception to 50 kHz" operation. In fact it loses gain even at the lower part of the AMBC band. It works OK at HF though still has less gain than the Wellbrook.  Note too the W6LVP broadband amplified loop does not work at LF either, despite their claims, compared to the Wellbrook and RF Pro loops.

Good Morning,

I will likely be purchasing a magnetic loop this fall.  I wasn’t able to find 
much on the web in terms of direct comparisons between the Wellbook ALA1530LP,  
W6LVP loop and DX Engineering RF-PRO-1B.

Ability to withstand the weather is of prime importance.  While cost is always 
a consideration, of equal importance are performance (of course), durability, 
product support, ease of installation and use.

I’d love to hear any thoughts, experiences and suggestions.

Thank you ,
