I wasn't going to comment, but some of the responses have been a bit afield, in my view. so, here goes: First, it depends on height above ground, in both cases. Higher is better, in general. Second,

One describes a dipole, the other s monopole, what do you want to tell with those links? 73 Peter <<<The vertical dipole COULD be end-fed, against a radial screen.>>> Read <a href="http://en.wikipedi
I think what he is trying to tell is that a half wave antenna that is fed in the center is called a "dipole antenna" and a half wave antenna that is fed from the end is not called a dipole antenna re
