I have used a Wellbrook loop for the last couple of years with excellent results. It is mounted on a rotator on a short 8ft pole just outside the shack window. My other antennas are an invL currently at 60ft and an E/W beverage about 300 ft long. The beverage is the quietest of all with the Wellbrook only very slightly noisier. The tx antenna is almost unusable for receiving as it is very noisy indeed. I use the loop for any DX contacts that are not in a Westerly direction and I can easily hear VK and JA from here in Europe using it. It is the best all round 160m receiving antenna that I have ever used.
