It probably will work after a fashion- at that height the usual deep nulls off a dipole's ends will be filled in- but expect the take off angle to be high. Dale W4OP
Hi Jacob, There are (at least) 3 common methods of matching a 5/8 antenna1. Tapped L 2. L-C.(series L, parallel C) 3. Simple series L. A 2M 5/8 using the last 2 should work well as a shortened 1/4 wa
Hi Jim, Modeling shows the classic shortened 1/2 wave loop (whether round or square) to be about -0.5 dBi and have an eggshaped pattern about 2 to 3dB "out of omni". It is important when measuring ga
