Topband: 3B9EME

[Charlie Cunningham]

Hi, Herb

I went off and read from Earl's K6SE's writings about the FO0AAA low-band RX
antenna.

The following is  an excerpt from those writings:

"It is a close relative of the Pennant and Flag antennas, which are
ground-independent relatives of the Ewe. The Delta is a modification of the
"delta-shaped Ewe loop" shown in figure 7-66 on page 7-51 of ON4UN's new
Low-Band DXing book.

I took John's Delta-Ewe and, with the feedpoint and termination located at
the bottom corners of the triangle, I used EZNEC to optimize the design for
best F/B and zero reactance at 1.830 mHz. This is the design that was built
by ON4UN for use by FO0AAA."

I guess that explains why, in my mind and memory, I had associated the
antenna with John, ON4UN.

73,
Charlie, K4OTV

The FO0AAA 160 RX antenna was put together for the operation by Earl
Cunningham (SK) K6SE.  Earl even wrote a detailed article on the design for
QST.
