[Towertalk] Is an 80m Rotatable Dipole Worth it??

[n4kg@juno.com]

A 70 ft high Inverted Vee suffers from near field ground losses
due to the ends being closer to the ground so a FLAT dipole
'should be' a more efficient radiator.  

A vertically polarized Delta Loop might be a useful supplement
to your system.  There are times when horizontal polarization
is better and other times when vertical polarization is better.
It is good to have BOTH.
