delta loop or di-pole ?

[GUY]

hi all,
I have a few days off in November and want to play antennas in the rain :)

In my experience antennas work better if you put them up in a driving
snow. Anyone else tested this theory?

I've heard that, but never tested. It rarely snows here. So rare in
fact, I'd probably rather go build a snowman than work on antennas in
that case. MK

I compared a dipole and a loop , why i prefer the loop over the dipole ?
the loop is quieter ,

Nothing can beat a dummy load in quietness.

A dummy load packed in dry ice may be slightly better.
