Anyone interested in more information about vertical dipoles should take a look at what Cebik has to say. As always, he has excellent information that is accurate and to the point: http://www.cebik.c

Since I have limited space for antennas, I was inspired by exactly that Cebik article to build a vertical doublet cut for 20 meters, and am quite pleased with the result. I used a 33' MJF telescoping

Thanks Rob, hadn't seen this one yet. Just one addition to what L.B. wrote. If you extend the vertical dipole to 2x 6m lengths (instead of the 2x 5m lengths as L.B. describes), the antenna also works

Here is a tip, Bob. Take so spray paint and spray the top half of the fiberglass mast skyblue or light grey. Then people won't even see it! My vertical dipole is made of a substance called Titanex wh

There is another alternative to center-fed vertical dipoles It is not very difficult to end feed dipoles which are much simpler mechanically. There's a good collection of information here: http://web

YES, correct, you still "should" use the counterpoise. I guess it might work without one but it's certainly better to have one. That's the one thing that keep steering me back to the center-fed. Havi

You do need a tuner with a 1/2 wave end fed wire, but it is possible to connect the wire directly to the tuner output. A counterpoise is still required, but it can be much shorter than the counterpoi

With respect to the Cebik article: I agree that this is excellent information. However there is not much discussion about feedline current balance, and the effect of the ground being much closer to o

One certainly needs a tuner if one is going to connect the 50 ohm output of a modern solid state rig to the high impedance at the end of a half wave antenna. Of course this is done all the time. I re

Ken, you're placing too much emphasis on theory and perhaps not enough on practice. Though that's your privilege and most of us are anxious to learn more theory, but I think we should also be encoura

my hunch is that ground proximety on one side of a vert. dipole may do some unbalancing but it probably isn't significant unless the pipe making the bottom half is sticking down in salt water : ) oka

Rip, I'm not sure I would call those a VD. Looks more like a base loaded vertical with two elevated radials. Seems like a good idea, though, because it gets the feedpoint close to the ground, and fee

2nd take after reading Toms Home Page. It looks like these antennas are only slightly (negligibly) worse that the "I" version. I don't believe Tom would misrepresent his product when he comparing it

Well it isn't so much for a better signal as it is for getting the two tubes out of the way. You can't have an antenna that close to the ground where there are kids and pets playing. They once answer
