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

Hi Wes, My study was on the effect of height on horizontal and vertical antennas, and I developed a figure of merit in dB for height of horizontal antennas. The executive summary is that for 30M and

Inverted Vs are compromise antennas in most cases compared to flat top dipoles. The ARRL hyped the inverted V in handbooks claiming its advantage with a 50 ohm Z (as if 75 ohms would make an antenna

The concept of "hot end" versus "cold end" is not supported by the laws of physics, so there is no difference in performance if you reverse the coax connections at the antenna. Getting the center of

height of an inverted V is the average between the apex height and the height of the ends. So a 60 foot high apex with the ends on the ground is pretty much like having a flat top at 30 feet. All is

Calling the nulls "big" is not accurate -- the nulls ARE deep, but they are also relatively narrow in angle. i have dipoles at right angles to each other for 80 and 40 at 120 ft. On any given signal,
