[TowerTalk] Delta Loop compared to Dipole (actual experience) (Richards)

[Richards]

Good point.   My goals are simple:   Low band rag chew anywhere in the realm
(i.e. USA)  and the occasional DX with the world.  I just hate hearing 
some guy
from overseas and not being able to reach him, while listen to the other 
guys
get out and contact him.  Not all DX... not contesting numbers, but the 
ability
to do it when I want to.    But for sure any state in the Union.

I cannot do that now.

Thanks.    Good points.   =========  Richards - K8JHR  ============
