Hi Joe,
I used to have 80m full size Delta Loop in 1990-95, hidden among trees in NW
Washington, DC. The apex was at 60', bottom corners - at 20'. It was fed at
the apex through 450 Ohm "ladder" line and I had Johnson KW Matchbox for
tuning on 80-10m. It was working extremely well on all bands except 30m.
Worked all continents (CW) on 20m with only 150 mW. It will also be much
quieter on reception than a dipole antenna.
I'm pretty sure that the Delta should be an antenna of Your choice in this
case.
73!
