I am considering building the Louisiana loop shown in this month's QST.
It is basically an inverted delta loop. I don't know if I can model
it on EZNEC (I guess I can...but I've only progressed through a dipole
or two).

I actually intend to string it up among some trees in the backyard in a
sort of temporary fashion.

Realizing the directionality involved, I will aim it toward Asia over
Alaska.

Now, any caveats or recommendations or ? before I embark on my first
antenna build?

I don't at present even know the feedpoint impedance but I intend to use
RG8U for feedline if that's possible. There is no mention of an UNUN or
Balun in the article.

What do youse think? Thinks?
