    I work the world with a 20m delta loop and pskreporter shows I'm heard from both directions on the opposite side of the globe. That is just the furthest distance on the globe from my location, not necessarily the route my signal took. I use a vertical delta loop bottom fed which is 50 Ohms. It throws a very low takeoff angle when the loop is 1 wavelengh high(bottom of loop). That means my antenna has to be nearly 90ft to the top and about 60ft at the bottom. Use 2 of them rotated 1/4 turn and use an antenna switch for a poor mans rotator. Also, they have a very low noise floor.

  • @StreakyP
    @StreakyP 2 місяці тому

    my only concern about the swr curves being that GOOD/flat is that it might be partially due to the very thin wire's resistance. It would be interesting to see what the DC resistance is for 30m of this wire before being made into the antenna (the skin effect HF resistance will obviously be higher than this but it is still useful to see). I'm certainly NOT saying that it isn't a useful antenna. I also think mag-loops are great & similarly they are not the highest efficiency but still very useful/usable. The TTFD has a wavelength of low resistance wire in it AND has a big resistor explicitly added and people like it so resistance in antennas isn't always a showstopper. Personally I use the single strand 2mm solid aluminium electric fence wire for antennas but it is a sod for kinking so your woven stuff looks like it might be better for portable deployment.

    • @LB4FH
      @LB4FH 2 місяці тому

      Yeah, this is mostly for a "when you need it" antenna, it's nothing I'd have up permanently. Fun to experiment though, and thanks for the idea of what to test if I make another one of these some times. Thanks for watching, 73!

    Love it... First time you have popped up in my feed. i enjoy all the experimenting and fiddling about too. I love recycling bits and bobs into antenna service. I think for an emergency it would be great but it really won't last long. It is only useful as electric fence because the 1500v jumps all the breaks in the 3 pathetic conductors then starts radiating the annoying click click clicks you can hear on your radios. Keep up the experiments.. M7HSG
