[TowerTalk] Matching a Delta Loop

For an equilateral, 1 lambda delta loop, you can find
a 50 ohm, vertically polarized, solution by feeding the
loop 1/3 up from one of the bottom corners. 

They work reasonably well.  I doubt they'll outperform
the inverted vee @ 95' apex, however.

I am still  trying to find something to out perform my 
inverted v with the apex at 95 feet. Thank yall, 73, Joe N4JBK

My recommendation, Joe, would be to try a K8UR array of 4 sloping
dipoles from that 95' point, with the bottom halves coming back
into the tower.  It'll give you some gain and directivity.
