Why I Bought This M1ECC Delta Loop (Instead of Building One)
This video is an amateur radio video for my amateur radio channel, subscribe to lonewolfhamradio if you enjoy amateur radio operating.
Description:
Is it worth buying a professionally made antenna when you could just DIY it? Today, I’m unboxing the Delta Loop from M1ECC Antennas here in the UK to find out.
While many of us in the ham radio hobby love to build our own gear, sometimes the build quality of a professional unit is hard to beat. I’ve been looking for a solid solution for my small garden setup, and after seeing the reputation of M1ECC, I decided to pull the trigger.
In this video:
Unboxing & First Look: Checking out the packaging and seeing how it survived transit.
The Components: A close look at the 4:1 balun, the SO-239 connector, and the high-quality steel wire.
The "Dog Bones": Breaking down the hardware included for the loop configuration.
Why Buy vs. Build? My thoughts on why I chose this specific aerial over a homebrew version for my garden.
The Plan: I’ll be mounting this Delta Loop in my garden soon to see how it performs on the air. Living with space restrictions and telegraph wires means I need something efficient and compact—let’s see if this is the answer!
Gear Featured:
M1ECC Delta Loop Antenna (4:1 Balun)
Steel Wire & Dog Bone Insulators
Stay tuned for the full install and testing video!
