Re: [TenTec] 80 meter loops

["David Price" <wa4et@hotmail.com>]

I have been using delta loops for years. The make nice low cost antennas, 
especialy for Feild Day, and other portable ops. Although I have never made 
a 80 meter loop, I have made 40-2 meters, and they have all worked great. 
Last year while doing an operation form gitmo, I made up a 6 meter delta 
loop, and worked a number of contacts during a band opening, and went as far 
as connecticut. THis same setup went do to HKO in a refind format and was 
quite successfull there also

I always use a 4:1 current balum, and you general get a flat responce all 
the way across the band
