[Antennas] Query

[Chris Boone]

Anyone with software out there who can model the following for me???

Right now, our local club has a delta loop....top is about 70ft off ground,
bottom part of maybe 20ft off ground; slopes maybe at a 30 degree angle down
from vertical...overall length is about 250ft (all three sides). Fed with
RG8 to tuner in the clubhouse (about 100ft or so). I feel it would be better
as a inverted V instead of a closed loop. I feel the currents so close to
the ground on the bottom section are hurting more than helping but I dont
have a copy of any decent antenna software to prove it. BTW we are wanting
to run this antenna on 160-10...right now 160 is a lost cause. The tuner
wont get anywhere close...Even 80m is touchy and doesnt radiate worth a fip
(of course the MFJ tuner may be responsible)...
If someone could model this in both configs and send me the results off
list, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

If you need more info, contact me direct off list.

Thanks!
