Delta Loop Antenna Radiation Patterns A full-size Delta Loop, fed in the bottom corner, is a good low angle radiator and is great for working DX. And all since July 12th, 2014Thanks for the idea - my first loop since I got my license in What is the height? Around the first toroidal core a 1:1 current BalUn is built up, creating the transition from unbalanced (coax) to balanced (the antenna). 40 Meters with a Phased Delta Loop QST May 1984, pp. Best antenna I have used in 50 years of hamming.
