[TowerTalk] please advise on terminated vee beam design

[Jim Berry]

Hello Con,

Though I do not have the data in front of me at this exact moment,
I do remember Ham Radio Magazine did run a number of articles on
the Vee antenna.  One thing that did stick in my head, was connecting
the terminated ends together with a ground wire.  Besides the use of
radials, out there, by tying the elements together, it made the
antenna much easier to use.  This made up for changing ground
conditions.  If I remember also, by sloping the legs, it took out
quite a bit of the directional characteristics of the antenna.

I wish I had those articles now, but I know I saved them.  I just
need to find them.  The antenna has always fascinated me, but I
have never had the room to give it a try.
