Delta end Fed By 9w2di

 For this 2023  i make a new study with this 2 antenna. Delta loop and delta end feed. This 2 type of shape for this antenna come with the triangle shape or Delta.

The different between this 2 antenna was the end point or the apex of the antenna.


On the left was the delta loop antenna and its resonant for 20m band. Also can work in 15m and 10m. I call it the triband Delta loop antenna.

The delta loop antenna i have been use from 2008. This is the best RX antenna. But for the 40m band use, i need to cutting out about 40 meters long wire for it. Then for the limited space at my home, here is the problem.

So i make a decision  for the half wave antenna. Then the end fed half square came out. For me with 2 antenna at my roof top its not so practical.

I made a decision to create a combination with this 2 antenna. After a 4 month i tested this antenna on my portable operation, it work well. 

Last 2 days ago i am run this delta end fed and the result so surprise. Only 20 watts with my Xiegu G90, its pile up on 15m meter band. for only 1 hour i can get 23 station.

The delta end fed antenna have a broadside at the top of it. On the horizontal side, its become the DX effectively antenna.

At the end point of this antenna, i am using the 49:1 unun. No counterpoise. This multiband antenna now work for me for 40m, 20, 15m and 10m band without any tuner.  

This also very suitable for portable antenna. Now you can get 2 antenna on 1 shape. Deltaloop and Delta End Fed antenna
