It wasn't switched.  The original query was for an Inverted-V.

I saw dipole in the subject line and in K9YC's post. I did not notice that the antenna was switched to an inverted V.

An EZNEC+ model of a 75M Inverted-V doesn't show any "deep nulls" on
30m, at least not compared to the pattern on 75m.  The broadside pattern
is simply quite a bit narrower, if that's what you mean. As Jim says,
though, the SWR is ridiculously high.

Besides the high SWR and associated feedline loss that Jim mentioned, the antenna pattern would have multiple deep nulls.

In my limited experience, no. My high (120-140 ft), coax-fed resonant
80M dipoles exhibit VERY high SWR on 30M.  A good tuner might put some
power on the transmission line, but the loss would be very high. The
fact that they don't hear well on 30m is a clue.

Hi Jim

Thanks for sharing the prez.

Question:  am considering recabling my 80 Inverted Vee as suggested. Any speculation on its performance on 30 m?
