[TowerTalk] 80m delta loop question

[Tony Brock-Fisher]

I have a pair of vertically polarized delta loops on 80, fed as a parasitic array with one reflector. The impedance of each loop is around 100 ohms, so if the feedline length is not really long, I suggest feeding it with a quarter wave section of 75 ohm coax, then 50 ohm back to the shack. Performance from a pair of loops is excellent (gain and f/b). Models much like a four-square (only switchable 180 degrees).

For info on my feed system, access the cebik site and goto http://www.cebik.com/content/a10/wire/hsyg.html
