- Thinking about a rotatable dipole for 75/80 meters.I could put it up at 85-90 feet.Worth the trouble at that height?I have Rohn 45 tower with about 12 square feet of antenna load on it now (4 times 4

- At that height - I would suggest a vertical antenna, and use the 432 stack as a capacitance hat...would work much better, with lower angle of radiation (good for DX) than a dipole. My 0.02 worth... S

- about get The answer depends on what you're using now and what your other possibilities are. For some interesting reading on low-band antennas see: www.w8ji.com/receiving.htm www.w8ji.com/receiving_

- What the models don't tell you is that noise tends to be vertically polarized and thus the dipole will generally receive better than the vertical, no matter what the models say. OTOH, I haven't seen
