BEST 80 METER ANTENNA ,

Glad you like your Horizontal Delta Loop. Nice Job. Art W1SWL

Yet another testimony in favor of the horizontal loop "skywire". On the low bands, it acts like a highly efficient NVIS "cloud burner" and on higher bands it throws out 360 degree lobes aimed right at the horizon for excellent DX performance. Just be sure to disconnect your radio equipment from the antenna when not in use and to ground the Antenna .... lightning strikes within a few miles induce huge currents in this design. For fun, use 450 ohm feedline and rubber band a florescent light tube to the feedline for a cool flashing light show during storms at night.

I’m putting up a 60 foot Rohn 25g tilting base tower with a 20 foot telephone pole right behind it to mount a winch. Hopefully looking to put up an 80m or 160m loop at my qth. Thanks for the video Bob KE5MUG
