Building a Andy 2E1TAP’s Shortened 40-Meter Delta Loop

December 10, 2025March 15, 2026PrabakaranComment(0)

Full-size Delta Loops for the 40-meter band normally require around 42 meters of wire—often impossible for operators with limited space. To overcome this challenge, Andy (2E1TAP) documented his attempt at constructing a space-efficient, shortened 40-meter Delta Loop.
