- Hi all, For many years I?ve had a trapped 80m/160m inverted vee with the apex at about 94? on a tower that?s loaded with various yagis. The vee is oriented so that it?s broadside to the NE and SW (wi

- I modeled an inverted-V last week. If the feed is balanced, the total radiation pattern (Hor + Ver) is omni-azimuthal with a lot of upward radiation. Directly broadside, the radiation is horizontal

- Meaning run the wires NE-SW? The article I read did mention the polarity being vertical in the direction of the wires, consistent with your model. Would the same apply to the 80m portion? Thanks & 73

- Yes run the wires NE-SW for 160. This might not help (or hurt) 80m. Even a flat (low) dipole has vertical radiation off the ends. I have a full-size NE-SW 630m dipole only 2m off the ground that ha

- This plot shows my low inv-V (30m apex is only 0.19 wavelengths) compared to my 3 element parasitic vertical. Study the relative gain vs TOA plots carefully: Ooops...bad link. Use this one: http://us

- This is easy to model an inverted V to see the actual pattern. I am sure that whatever configuration / direction you use will be inferior to a top loaded vertical. BTW two weeks ago I used a 300' hig
