Delta Loop Ideas Please

A full wave 20 meter delta loop, fed with open wire, ladder line or even TV twin lead & a tuner will load up on all bands 10-40 meters. Performance on 10-20 will be good, 30 & 40 a little less so. Terry W8EJO 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? Roy Lewallen, W7EL |

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.

Delta Loop Ideas Please
John,
There will be some interaction. One small point. You will need to resonate the longest loop first and then so on. Another point , for 4 loops , you could use a stacking harness such as would be used to stack 4 yagi beams . Then go from it to the 1/4 wave matching sections. Just a thought. Good Luck, Ace - WH2T "John" wrote in message ... I have been researching for a while now around the area of nested delta loops. Thanks John |
