Dear Friends,

I prefer delta loop antenna for 160 Meters.

Measurements of my delta loop antenna for 160 Meters (and Contests):

1.005 / fo (Resonance Frequency) = A (feet)

A x 0.3048 = B (Meter)

For example:

1.005 / 1.830 kHz = 549 feet

549 x 0.3048 = 167.34 Meter

167.34 Meter / 3 = 55.78 Meter (Parallel to the ground) 

3 Polls (The height of the poll = 11.50 Meter)

Balun ==> B / 4  x 0.66 = C (Meter) 

For example:

167.34 / 4  x 0.66 =  27.62 Meter

Best regards from TAnatolia.

HNY & 73,

Berkin, TA3J
