Relocated the delta loop to a better location and it no
longer requires a tuner.

However, I have discovered that with the tuner I can
use it from 160-6M!  Hardly efficient given it is too
low even for 6M but is fun until I can get a dipole up.

It is, after all, 21' of copper refrigeration tubing
in the air ...

Yesterday on the 6M delta loop:
