[TowerTalk] FW: 80 meter wire antenna question

[Ed Sawyer]

I have a 2 element 40M delta loop beam facing south.  The peaks are at 50
feet and the base wire at about 10 feet above the ground.  It is fed for
vertical polarization.  I can verify that the gain is as expected - about 3
- 3.5dB better than the single loop.

 

Whether a vertically polarized loop will exhibit gain with a horizontally
polarized parasitic would be a good modeling question.
