Usage a Vertical Delta Loop Antenna (loop has 83 meters) for 50 MHz band

I tried to use my Delta Loop antenna 83 meters long for 50 MHz band. According to MININEC program it could work relatively good there to lots of directors. There was only one problem with an impedance matching between my TRX and the antenna. My SW MFJ Antenna Tuner because does not work on 50 MHz. I designed (used Smith V1.4 program) and made a simple LC tuner (SWR about 1.5). Then I took part in local 50 MHz contests (Moon Contests, CW,SSB). I also listened well to OE beacon on 50.438 MHz. So it is prepared for opening the “Magical” Band in the next future.
