Gentlemen, OM's, OF's, et al -
I don't have an antenna handbook to consult and hoping ya'll might be
of assistance. For resonant dipoles, it looks like the majority use
1/2-wave lengths. Hung at the same height, in my case roughly 50' and
resonance around 14.200 MHz, how much performance difference would I
notice with either a full wavelength or a 5/8-wave instead of the
traditional 1/2-wave?
At 20M I have horizontal room for all three wavelength models, should
I attempt a full wavelength and trim down to a shorter wavelength if
necessary?
Thanks
