After taking a lightnming hit I'm redoing the antenna configuration on my crank
up tower. One question is does anyone know how efficient a shortened 80 meter
dipole/inverted vee (80 ft) is versus the advertised "full size" 80m dipoles of
130 ft or so? The highest I can get the apex of the dipole/inverted vee is 50
ft. (I have a TriEx WT51 with a Mosley Classic 33 WARC (the the 40m kit on the
driven element) on top. The reason for investigating the shortened dipole/vee
is
my lot is just 100X150 Any help appreciated, or would I be doing better by
putting up a vertical?
