I am confused. I have an 80m delta loop configured for 3.525mhz. That makes each side of the triangle 95 feet. I am going to use ladder line to an outdoor tuner. I have been reading all I can on the

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, usi

As expected, I got several different opinions. I will opt for the feed point 1/4 wavelength down from the apex. I plan to use RG59 coax because it is lighter and at 80m, will handle 1kw. I know the v

I'm using a delta loop with the apex at 77'. I'm currently feeding it in the middle on the bottom horizontal leg (which is 10' above the ground) with a 2:1 balun. Works just great at my qth. I do pla

To tune a vertically polarized delta loop between CW and SSB, it is only necessary to add a single piece of wire to the center point of the bottom leg. The free end should be supported off the ground

I've used delta loops apexed at the top and not at the top. Those who have not been happy probably had them low to the ground. Mine have been at their lowest point about a minimum of 40 feet above th

Assuming neither antenna is built or installed wrong, maximum possible gain of full wave loop over a dipole is just over 1dB. The effective height of a loop is centered between the heights of the cu
