[Antennaware] Vertical Dipoles

[David Gould]

First, thanks to all who have responded both on and off the 
reflector, with some very useful information.

I would just like to add my reasoning for asking the original 
question.  As well as the RF performance, my other main requirement 
is to be able to deploy it quickly.  My "main contest" efforts have a 
large "field-day" style element, in that I can put additional 
antennas up in the next-door field.  So speed and ease of deployment 
are important.  I am aware of, and have used vertical ground-planes 
before, but wanted to consider other options which could deploy more 
easily.  This also included having to take the feedline away parallel 
to the ground.
