Prehaps a return to the original question is in order. Ed asked:
" I would like to put up a 160 meter loop, fed with 450ohm ladderline.
Although I have enought room, the existing trees would only provide
three supports, pretty much in the shaped of a equalaterral triangle.
How well would a three sided loop work? Should I feed it in the
center of one side?"
The man asked a simple question about what I believe is a horizontal
loop and you bozos started telling him it would work better (be more
efficient) if it was round.
Roy is too nice a guy to put it this way, but I'm not; It won't make a
rat's ass difference whether it's a triangle, a square, a circle or
anything in between. Unless it's 100'+ above ground, it's pretty much
going to radiate straight up; which in this case is its "favorite
direction."
