I don't care what your computer says. A flat top dipole will outperform an inverted vee dipole at the same feedpoint height EVERY time. By more than a small amount. This is my experience, and many o

I agree with Bill. However, when I got EZNEC, the first thing I did was model inverted vees vs. dipoles. The difference was startling, in favor of the flat-top dipole. I used the same center height f

Hi Bill, The first line I wrote in my earlier reply was: "Folding the legs down mainly changes efficiency by decreasing feedpoint impedance and lowering the effective height of the antenna." I think

The apparent disparity between flat top and inverted vee radiators most likely comes from the difference in heights between observers. W8JI correctly stated that an inverted vee operates very much li

Hi Dennis, of the Different I don't know what quantity "startling" is. Perhaps the problem is my fault, because I call a change "insignificant" while others correctly define the very same change as "

I would not make definitive statements which you cannot back up. Try looking a a model of a flat top dipole 90 degrees out of its broadside layout. An inverted V will beat it to death. 73 Ed -- FAQ o

Hi Tom. Another thing we have to figure on is that if you have 2 160 foot towers, the antenna will probably be about 140 feet up at the center as 150-200 feet of RG-8 is pretty heavy and there is bou

Okay. I've got a 100 foot tower. Would I be better off with sloping dipoles (feedpoints at 60-70 feet but a straight dipole) or an inverted vee with the feedpoint at 100 feet? Input appreciated. I'm

Steve, I have never modeled anything. I'll tell you what has worked for me on 75 meters. Guess it doesn't make a lot of difference that I'm on the east coast because the contacts are from everywhere.
