Default Delta Loop Ideas Please

Tell me the loop configuration (apex up or down), where it will be fed
along the circumference of the loop, local geography, nearby
structures, ground conductivity & height above ground & I'll give you a
rough idea.

Performance on 10-20 will be good, 30 & 40 a little less so.

But then my dummy load will load up on all bands.

The question is, in what direction(s) and elevation angles will it
radiate on each band, and are those directions in which you want to talk
with someone?
