Delta loops show marginal gain over a dipole (1.1db), and are much more of a pain to erect. As far as noise no real proof that is true. And one more thing, feeding with 1/4 wave of 72ohm is more vo

I don't know that I would call the Pegasus an Edsel, because it might not be pretty, but there are a lot of fellas that buy them up and use them. They are always a hot item on ePay, and at any ham f
