[TowerTalk] 80m Delta loop on 70' tower

[John Tait]

A friend of mine GW3UZS has a simple solution. The three attachment 
points for his Delta loop are ceramic insulators. The Delta Loop has the 
horizontal wire on top, and the point down.  The antenna wire can move 
freely through the holes in the insulators. During daytime, he feeds the 
loop at the bottom point to work the local stations. In the evening, he 
hauls on the wire until the feed point moves to one of the top corners, 
which gives low angle take off to work the long haul.
