Anyone have experience with horizontal loops in a triangle shape?

I have trees on my property that will allow this configuration. I'll
have about 100' on each of the three sides. It is pretty much an
equilaterl triangle, and the height should be about 60 feet. I'd like
opinions before I go to the effort of getting it up. I'd also like
opinions on whether or not it should tune at all on 160M. I have an MFJ
balanced tuner to feed the 600 ohm ladder line I plan on using.

Hi Ed,

Your Loop is about the same as I'm using here it works great on 80-10m
But 160 is a bit of a stretch for it.. and I use an inv. L on that band
when I'm active there. But it's been a great loop here on the other
bands. You might try it first before adding relays and traps .. how
well it tunes will depend upon the range the tuner will handle. It
should give a good high angle lob on 160 and be good for local out to
say 500 or 1000 miles.
