[CQ-Contest] Melti Band Dipole?

[john at kk9a.com]

An off center fed dipole will have more common mode current than a center
fed dipole so you'll need a very good choke to minimize RFI.   A fan dipole
would be my first choice.

I have gotten from many people comments saying to avoid any of the OCF 
Dipole designs, because of Noise. Especially the probable higher level 
of noise because the place is an "EOC". (Lots of Computers)

They say a OCFD is much more susceptible to letting these noises in.

Yes? NO?

At my home, Noise I have no background in on it being a problem.
It is sooo quiet here that even on a full sized 40 meter elevated vertical,
I can have the second level pre amp on, and in an empty spot on any band,
the S meter sits at S-0 or maybe tickling up to a max of S-1
