[TowerTalk] Height for horizontal loops

[F.R. Ashley]

I had a full wave 80-meter delta loop at 55 feet and it was one of the best 
wire antennas I've ever used.   At first, I used a stub and used it for 80 
meters only, then switched to open wire and used it with a tuner on all 
bands... great antenna.
