In my opinion, there is no reason to put up the more complex Delta Loop and
not make it a vertically polarized antenna.
Hi Ed,
You cited the most important reason in the paragraph above -- vertically
polarized antennas are strongly dependent on good soil to work well,
horizontal antennas don't care what the soil is, they only care about
height. Poor soil is a VERY good reason to NOT bother with any
vertically polarized antenna.
