Topband: More on Delta loop

I thought I'd update everyone on my post a few days ago, regarding 
F/B ratio on my recently installed rotatable delta loop.
Originally I was getting a relatively small F/B. The coax was running 
along the horiz element, back to the rotor, about an inch from the 
antenna element itself. I relocated the coax, and hung it about 12-14 
inches below the horiz element (except for the choke balun, as I 
didn't want that swinging in the breeze). This improved the F/B by 6-
8 db.
