Just this morning there was a discussion in a local ham roundtable on
the RadioWorks super80 Delta loop!

The instigator said he was amazed how quiet (less noise) the antenna was
while still making qso's in Europe.

Another explained that dipoles have noise because of the end effect
caused by high impedance at the ends.

Are these beliefs accurate?
