[Elecraft] A good antenna

For a year or more now I have been using a simple near but not resonant 40m
vertical delta loop with the peak at about 33feet and fed with a random
length of ladder line to a remote auto tuner contained in a water resistant
box. Tuner is a MFJ 993b I think.
Tunes well 6m through 160m. Not very great performance on 80 and 160m but
have made some contacts. I really only use 80m for the QRP fox hunts with
some success.  Easy to use except the tuner likes 15-20watts for fast
tuning. Hunts a little using 5w on some bands.

You can see my setup on my qrz page.
