Thanks to all who replied and gave me some excellent info!
Bottom line consensus was cut for SSB and for CW add in a length of wire to get it down to CW.
Hope to get it in the air in the next couple weeks.

CU in the fall/winter contests!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] delta loop question 80m

Hello all,
Hope it's oK to ask this on this forum.
Trying to figure out if it's worthwhile to make one delta loop that will
cover most of CW and lower part of SSB.
Does anyone have up a full wave delta loop for 75/80M?
If so, what are your 2:1 SWR band edges?
I was thinking if I cut it to resonate around 3.6 it might be wide enough
for both.
If not I'll just go with 2 separate antennas.

Thanks and 73,
Darrell AB2E
