[Antennas] Delta Loop spacing

Hello !
I have build a 3 element Delta Loop for 28 Mhz.

The 2 element-version worked fine, since there is the 3rd element on, I have
a terrible SWR. 

Spaces: Reflector --> Driven Element = 2 mtr.
        Driven Element --> Director  = 1 mtr.

as written in Rothammels book.

I saw on different yagi construction plans other spacings, there the driven
element is much closer to the reflector than to the director. 

When I mount the 3rd element (director) the SWR is very high, and there is a
loss in recieving with about 1,5 S-Units. 

Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance !

Stefan, DF3TQ
