Whilst on the subject of Delta Loops, and 'better bang for the buck', I'd
like to ask whether anyone has any comments about the Delta-Loop Beam ????
There's a few photos of one here:

though on some of them, he seems to have it on the same boom as a yagi.
Basically, there are two lengths of aluminium in a V-shape, with a wire
across the top to complete the loop. I guess it would put the average height
slightly above that of a yagi. The total width might be of interest to those
on small lots. The feed seems to be a gamma-match - fairly clear on pics 11
and 13.
Has anyone ever used one of these ?? Any building tips?? Do you have any
comments about it, vs. a yagi ???
