Hello Mike,
Thank you for responding.
Ah, i think i know what you are getting at.
What you have done (probarbly) is measured the delta loop at its lowest point at took that for "3 meters"
The top heigth of the delta loop in your case will probarbly be something around 6 meters ?
The bottum heigth around 3 ?
Where the 2el yagi is situated at just 3 meters in your example.
Think we had a discussion going on about :
antenna feedpoint heigth, antenna current heigth and antenna top heigth...etc..there are differences of course.
The topic starter is referring to 17 feet, roughly 5.2 meters.
Without having it verified yet, i think you will find the difference become less, and when placed higher one can say "neglible".
Pehaps a vertical polarisation one the delta loop would evan provide a lower take off angle ? At 3 meters heigth...worth giving it a try.
If he really want to take advantage of the heigth of an antenna system...
Perhaps we could recommend a 2el Hentenna, or a bi-square ?
Or maybe evan such a 2el jogunn thingy...would be something to try in antenna software.
We will have to find out what would be best..
No mather how we deal with the situation, the end solution will be ....placing the antenna higher of course.
But tnx, again
Kind regards,
H.
