- Quick question: When mounting an inverted Vee antenna, one end can end at a higher level (perhaps in a tree and the other end is lower) obviously the antenna will perform to some degree better. Ho

- If you have a proper balun at the feedpoint, there isn't a "hot end." It's a balanced dipole, until it isn't because one end is closer to the ground than the other, of course. Wes N7WS On 6/13/2020

- The current is highest nearest the center feed point, so INHO, all else being equal you want that as high as you can get it. Worst performance would be ends up high and center down close to the groun

- The inverted vee format does help at low heights. However, as overall height is raised then best performance occurs when the wires are level. I think Jim Briwn may have some data on this. --We
