I recently had occasion to acquire a number of Bob Hobert's (KA1UJ, now
deceased) "BigHorn" 10-15-20m 7-element Delta Loop arrays, long out of
production. These are simply the best delta loop antennas ever
built--72lbs, doubly reinforced boom, all machined parts (no castings),
etc. etc. I now have one more than I need, and it's boxed (four large
boxes) and ready to ship. Only the 10m parts of this antenna have been
used; all else is as new. The antenna is complete and ready to
assemble, with documentation. I have used these antennas for more than
15 years, mostly to finish 5BWAZ, and I can tell you they are band
openers and pileup busters. Like all apex-down, bottom-fed loops they
give very good lower radiation even when mounted low (50-70' is the most
you want for these antennas) and will outdo full-size 3- and 4-element
monoband yagis up to 70'-90'. I can sell the one I don't need for $595
shipped (they originally cost nearly $900 20 years ago!), so if you can
use it pse let me know. It'll knock your socks off. Tks es vy 73! jan
