Hi Carol,
For DX usage, a good option is a vertically mounted (base of the triangle
parallel to ground), vertically polarized delta loop.
The best feeding position is 1/4 wave from top to bottom, using 1/4
electric length of 75 ohm coaxial.
If you polarize it horizontally, you will depend on having it very high to
ensure a low radiation angle.
