Topband: Inverted V antenna!

[w7dd]

I just modeled an inverted V antenna on EZNEC.  The apex height is at
87'(for an 89' tower), ends are 2 feet above ground, ground conductivity is
1.5s/m, dielectric constant is 13 and 1/4 wave elements are 127.6'
long/side.  Frequency was 1.85mhz.  The ground description is for Tucson,Az.

The results show that it is a BETTER VERTICAL  than horizontal by 3dbi at a
elevation angle of 20 degrees to the horizon.  This is off the ends.
Horizontal is broadside.
