Hi - Anyone on the reflector this morning? I'm having a small problem with an 80m dipole that I'm raising for CQWW next weekend. Total length of the dipole is 133', but distance from tower to house i

The "flattened V" is okay. It does not have to be perfectly horizontal all the way across. Mine does the same thing with a droop of about 6 to 10 feet in the center and it works fine. I have even hea

That dropping concept in reality works fine. Most of the radiating work is done much closer to the feed point, the first 1/8 wave of wire either side of the feed point. 73, dave wa3gin --Original Mes

If the dropping works well, then why can't I select and appropriate length, and feed one side or the other, and create an array of sorts.... Similar to a Half "U" or Lazy H? --Original Message-- From

The whole antenna is importand, don&acute;t forget ground losses. Back in the 60:ties people was thinking that a Inv V was better then a dipole, atleast I know better know! 73 Jim -- ________________

Don't know why you can't get it to work OM. I've got a 3 E 40m beam built that way and it works great...maybe your antenna is installed over a iron ore deposite??? 73, dave wa3gin --Original Message-

True ofcourse, but every dB counts, atleast in my book. If I don&acute;t have to give away dB&acute;s I&acute;m not going to either. 73 SM2EKM -- _______________________________________________ See:
