Ken Silverman@AIRTOUCH 03/19/98 12:11 PM Hi, Does anyone have a formula for calculating a vertically polarized delta loop? The loop I am thinking of has the single point apex at the top, and the flat
Kenny, try moving the feed to a point 17.5% UP from one of the lower corners. Think you'll be nicely surprised. 73 Ed - -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/antennaware-faq.html Submissions: ante
OR 1/4 wave down from the top if not an equilateral triangle. Carl KM1H _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Interne
I'm not sure if this question is appropriate for this forum but.... even though the model looks great for the 17.5 % feed point, I have never had any luck in actual practice getting it to work with a
No, Carl, this is simply not so. The original idea for this full size loop was advanced in "Lowband Monitor" some years ago. In modeling, and in acutality, the triangle need not be equilateral, but
Tom, if the top is at 52', you've got the thing way too high off the ground. Try bringing it down to where the bottom wire is about 5' off the ground. Actually, the problem with this antenna is that
Ed; I am only going by long published data and generally accepted ( 20+ years) on a 1 wave vertically polarized loop. I have no idea what was in LBM last year. In modeling, and in All I said is that
Thanks ED, I will try lowering it and feeding it at the 17.5% point. 73 Tom AA4VV -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/antennaware-faq.html Submissions: antennaware@contesting.com Administrative
