Re: Nano VNA SAVER graphs of a 40m loop antenna


 

It is about 20 ft high and in a ¡°delta¡± shape, horizontal of course.
Fed with a 1:1 balun (I did not need) and 50 ft RG213

I thought I needed a 4:1 balun or a 1/4 wave 75 ohm matching line, but I did neither and it works well.
The SWR is quite usable over the lower parts of 40/20/10m but I only use it on 40m.

It does just about as well as a simple 1/2 wave dipole at the same height.
My vertical works much better at night, for low-angle DX.
