[TowerTalk] Delta loop

[Scott Hotchkiss]

Feeding loops?
Depends on where you want your signal to go...
Long haul DX? Low radiation angle...
Feed 1/4 wavelength down from the apex.
Shorter hops?
Feed for horizontal polarization, bottom center.
Any GURU's out there have additional input or corrections to my methods?
