Hi all:

I've been thinking about making a vertically polarized Delta Loop for 40m.
I've seen articles on the internet having the feed point at one of the lower
corners of the triangle for vertical polorization, others having the feed point
on one of the sides, 1/4 wl from the top. Does it make any difference if its
sloping (within reason) or does it need to be perpendicular to the ground?

Anyone here have any experience here?


Thanks,

Good Morning Bob,

I've found here that sloping is ok within reason. The feed point
should be at the 1/4 wave down from the apex , I've tried both and it
seem to work better for me there. you might want to take a look a

I would not that if you are planning on using this loop on any band
other than 40m buy tuning it with a tuner. You would be better off
mounting it in the Horizontal plan..
