Lee,

Just curious, what do you feed it with and where (corner or side)? Also,
what are the shapes? I'm amazed at the flat SWR!

I have a 40 meter loop inside my 80 meter loop and have been running it
for
3 years without any problems.

Both antennas are flat (no SWR) and there appears to be little to no
interaction between the antennas.

Hi group,
just wondering.... can I take a 40M delta loop and add an 80M dipole to
it?
Will there be interaction?
SWR problems?

The apex of the triangle is at 50 ft on a telescoping mast and I feet the
bottom right corner for vertical polarization.

40m is flat across the entire band .. 80m is flat from 3.500 to about 3.700
....

The base is about 5 ft off the ground ...

What does one use to provide impendence transformation(if needed) at
feedpoint for a dual or multiband loop antenna?
I have two...one cut for 20 meters that I wish to multiband and use
individual loops for each band from 20 thru 10 meters. Could I use a 2 to 1
balun at feedpoint to resolve the impendence match?
The second delta loop is top feed currently with twin lead...and had about
220 feet of wire in the loop. I would like to string in two more additonal
loops...one for 40 and one for 30 meters....
Currently both are fed with 450 ohm twin lead with a pair of old Johnson
Matchboxes.
