Delta Loop Collinear QST

[KC4MOP]

Anyone willing to try this antenna?? Pg 32 DEC, QST. About 286 feet of wire for two delta loops and some phasing coax, two current baluns at the feed-points, and antenna tuner. 40M, 20Mm, 15m and 10m.
My focus would be 40 and 20, 15.
I have a 5/8 wave for 10M.

I am assessing my present dipole bracket to see if it could handle another long antenna wire. I'm attaching a photobucket of the situation here. It would be nice to do before the real Winter arrives.
I'm guessing it should be ok. It was not a compromise cheapo. And the pulley is a Marine grade type up there. Dunno yet.
The bracket up there now:

thanks for looking.....Happy Thanksgiving

I once used one of these with two identical loops aligned one behind the other seperated a qtr wave on 75 meters. they were fed in phase and it worked very well.
I think the method used in the QST article is better design than what I did back in the day (1977).

One loop behind the other would be a different configuration to be like a two element Yagi. But give a similar performance of a Collinear. Probably not as much gain. dunno.
Looking at my QTH and the changing WX I am second thinking this project. Two delta loops "in series (Collinear)  and 24 feet separation between elements, takes up a lot of real estate.
