As featured in ON4UN’s book ed.5 section 7.2.

Looking for comments on this configuration.  Especially if you have actually 
built it or modeled it.  Pros and cons welcome.

I’m considering it because the area around where I can put down a vertical on 
160 has enough trees and brush that getting a proper and symetrical ground 
field for a vertical-based 80m 4-square would require a bulldozer.  Considering 
the 160m vertical alone, I can work around those obstacles with some manual 
work and sew radials for the 160m field that will be adequate to the task - 
more or less.  But the idea of the vertical bent dipole is handy in that it 
provides great independence from the quality of ground screen.
