[Premium-Rx] HF Antennas for the city?

LA 5030 Indoor Loop Antenna

And I too highly recommend Wellbrook.  I have the
small (indoor) version due to CC&Rs (neighborhood
restrictions) and have found amazing performance from
the indoor loop in my attic.

By the way, you can purchase online from the Shortwave
Store in UK, and the Wellbrook site lists them as
authorized dealer accepting credit card orders:
