Anyone know how many ohms I should be measuring at the end of a 25ft
coax cable connected to a 60ft Delta antenna?


Near zero. As I understand a Delta, or Delta Loop antenna, the DC resistance
should be zero ohms. The Delta is a closed loop. Down at the end of your coax
the DC resistance will be zero from center conductor to shield. Probably need
to disconnect the the coax from the antenna and check them seperately to insure
the coax is not shorted, and the antenna reads a short.

Right at the 529 connection at the connection end of the antenna the

resistance is infinite.
Not sure about a 529 connection, but if you take the ohm readings with the
antenna disconnected from the coax, you should find the problem.
