> I have 3 towers, a 53' 25g, a 52' crankup and a 30' 25G
> I can support a 40meter dipole from the 30' to 30' up the
53' tower as a flat top or pull the center support up to 50'
on the crankup. So which would be better for overall use on
40? Inverted v with ends at 30 AND CENTER AT 50 OR A
FLATTOP AT 30?
The primary difference between an Inverted Vee Dipole of
medium or wide bend angle and a dipole is the lowering of
effective height Since you are already starving for height
a bit I'd keep the ends up as high as possible This
assumes your desired operating directions are broadside to
the antenna and you don't want a cloud warmer antenna
Sorry about the lack of periods
