The Delta loop i ordered for future DXpeditions arrived. it is a Hari Delta loop antenna, the kit includes

the wire, a Heavy Duty 1kw Balun, and some installing parts.

After a lot of struggeling with putting up the antenna, i mangaged to get it done. as a pole i used the

Spider beam 12m XHD

when i tested the antenna first, i realised the wire is still way too long. out of the box

the SWR on 7.000 is 1.9 and on 7.200 it is 2.8

i shortened the wire by about 30cm, hoping this will move the center of resonance into the 40m Ham band.

Next test/first use will be in Denmark as 5Q4XT, hoping for a lot of DX.
