Re: [TenTec] OT; Horizontal Loop Antennas

Great stories Rick.
Yes, four sided loops are better for the cases you mention of getting 
two major directions with a lobe.
Our 3 sided loops were strictly a compromise to get out of the hot TX 
sun that much sooner!  We did pick supports of convenience to help with 
major lobes on 20m, where we were using the "80m loop".  Our eventual 
favorite used two existing poles, and we set a slip up mast optimally 
for the third corner and feedpoint.  In our case, we wanted to fire as 
many watts east early on FD, to take advantage of ham density on the 
Eastern Coastal areas.
