One 'modification' of that design is to add a conductor along the

I don't see what this in response to (no quoted material) so I will
wing it with an observation.
Building a ground field (like radials, but more linear for dipoles, or
in this case a loop) as a mat will increase performance (more signal
out).

Here's the original post.
Anybody have experience with the "half delta loop" as shown he

I modeled it in EZNEC and it seems to solve my space and support
problems on 80/75, and is decent on 40. Patterns get kinda weird on
20M and above.

Hmmm, Doc is right. Try it an see (seeing there was no ask for how
design variations would impact performance).
