Hi all,

I'am looking for a maximum informations about delta loop antennas.
First of all, I found a lot of interesting documents with Antenna Searh
http://www.les-antennes.fr/index.php...oop+calculator
that can help me, but I don't find any document who explain what is the
best mechanical technics to fixed elements to the boom.

Best regards

Oli

Welding , I think this antenna got started as a CB gimmick, well maybe not,
The idea is something akin to a cubical quad using plumbers delight
constrction. I built one for CB back in the early 70s because I was afraid
of tackling a quad then. Believe me the quad was much easier to build and I
think it performed noticably better than the delta.

I forgot I did make one rotatable delta beam befor this one, sort of a
prototype. It was made of wood and wire. The wire was supported by
bamboo poles.The bamboo was fastened to a wooden boom with lagbolts.
Cut of the head of the labolt in stick it up the bottom end of the
bamboo and clamp with radiator clamps. This actually worked better
than the all metal one. I let my friend have it after I made the metal
one, should have kept this one. He had it up for 4 or 5 years before
the boom finally broke. Im sure it would have lasted a lot longer if
the wood had been varnished.
