Delta Loops for HF
I decided to try a full wave Delta Loop. After using the loop for a couple of days with decent band conditions, I have never looked back. It's performance compared to the dipole has been very impressive

40 meter 10 mt delta loop
This simple broadband antenna is easy to build,has gain similar to that of a dipole and is tolerant of near by objects
70mHz 4 metre Delta Loop
Although I would only have FM on 70mHz I thought that making another horizontally polarised Delta Loop made sense for a number of reasons, first it was simpler to mount and secondly it would give me chance to see if nesting the loops caused any problems
A Vertically Polarized Delta Loop for 40m
The available supports were the 12.5m tree, and my house about 25m away, with a height at the top of the pitched roof of about 8m. Fortunately the line from the tree to the house runs roughly West to East, so a loop antenna erected in this plane would radiate most strongly in the North/South
