Yes. That's why ARRL will not print advertiers'  "claims to gain".

Well, let's be clear - this message was nothing but a thinly disguised commercial advertisement. The gain number reminds me of some of those we used to see in ads.

This is good gain for the boom length.  It would be nice if there were
photos on the website.

I have made a 4 element deltaloop on a 30 foot boom for 20/17/15/12/10
meters in 1983. I have since refurbished the antenna and I am now
re-installing at my new address. The gain for 4 elements is around 11.5
dbd. If anyone is interested, I have put together a website that
describes my findings. I can work most on the 1st or 2nd call. The
antenna is very quiet for those very weak ones. My website is
WWW.deltaloopantenna.ca or com.

### here it states a 4 el 20m monoband delta loop....on a 24.6 ft long boom.

(snip)

##  so its  6.26 dbd  on a 24.6 ft long boom.    That's pretty good,
considering F12 rates their 4 el yagi  on a 30 ft boom at 6.0 dbd.
A 204BA  is aprx 5.5 dbd.     My 5 el F12 yag on a 36 ft boom is only 7.3
dbd.
  A 3 el on a 18 ft boom is only 5.2 dbd.   The F12 6 el
on a 44 ft boom is  7.8 dbd.
## How long is each of the three spreaders ? Im guessing at least 13-14
ft.
  That's  39-42 ft in total.

## What this needs is a 40 ft boom....and 2 more eles. Then it becomes a
flame thrower.   Keep up the good work.

later........ Jim  VE7RF
