For fun and out of sheer boredom I strung up about 280 ft of wire in a triangle suspended about 20’ off the ground and threw a 4:1 balun at the north point for a feed. Trimmed it close enough and I’ll try it out tonight. If I like it I might consider doing a bigger loop for 160 I dunno
 

Sad to say that while the triangle did work well the gains or losses compared to my ocfd were hit or miss. Maybe if I was up higher or had it orientated a little different. I will say that you should try it just to see.


Edit. I forgot to mention it is much quieter than the ofcd. I’ll raise it up and see how it compares. I forgot to add a choke so I did that. We’ll see how it performs for a bit switching back and forth.
