I have a pair of vertically polarized delta loops on 80, fed as a parasitic 
array with one reflector. The impedance of each loop is around 100 ohms, so if 
the feedline length is not really long, I suggest feeding it with a quarter 
wave section of 75 ohm coax, then 50 ohm back to the shack. Performance from a 
pair of loops is excellent (gain and f/b). Models much like a four-square (only 
switchable 180 degrees).

For info on my feed system, access the cebik site and goto
