    Delta Loop VHF Antenna very easy to make. All you need is a 2.1 m long electrical copper wire and a quarter wavelength piece of 75 ohms RG6 cable for matching. I got an SWR of 1.2:1 on VHF. I used it initially with local VHF repeaters and got good signals. Though this is not the ideal antenna to use for satellite contacts, I was happy to work one station through amateur radio on International Space Station with this antenna. It was an overhead pass of Space Station, with up to 5 segments of signal on the display.
