A Compact 2 Element Lightweight Delta Loop for the 4m [70MHz] Band

Here’s a nice compact 2 element lightweight Delta Loop for the 4m [70MHz] band. It works as a horizontal antenna as shown in this article, but also can be turned 90 degrees to work in the vertical plane.

For this design, we’ve used sections of both 16mm and 12mm tubes and PVC coated ‘Flexweave‘ for the top wire.

This particular model has no additional top wire support as it wasn’t deemed a necessary inclusion based on the small size of the loop.

When matched with a gamma match, the SWR curve across the band is totally flat
