[Antennaware] 2-element delta loop array close to ground

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

In order for me to see what is going on, I need to run the director 
configuration with AO Pro, which is the only tool that will allow me to 
watch what is changing according to a formulaic progression of wires and 
termination points.  This is an interesting one with an audience and some 
benefit apparently.

Preparation for WW, SS, etc., kept me busy elsewhere.

I'll give this a shot.

73, Guy.
