Topband: Vertical Dipoles on 160 Meters

[John Crovelli <w2gd@hotmail.com>]

For those who have limited space and are unable to lay out an effective ground 
system, the vertical dipole offers a very worthwhile alternative to an 
Inverted-L or low Inverted-V.

It is relatively easy to build, install, and tune.  The K2KQ article has been 
followed by hundreds with success.

Vertical dipoles on 160 meters have been in place at P40W and P40L for a decade 
or more.  Small footprint, vertical polarization and no ground system were the 
design parameters that prevailed.
