[TowerTalk] 160m dipole polarity, if there is such a thing...

hello all,

I am going to hang a 160 meter dipole w/1:1 balun tomorrow and am 
wondering if there is a recommended method for how to hang it 
"polarity-wise".  One half of the dipole is going to extend over some of 
my house, the other half will totally be over the yard.  Should I put 
the half that is tied to the center conductor over the yard or the 
house?  It seems like it would be best to have the leg that is 
electrically connected to the center conductor of the balun over the 
yard and not the house.


thanks and regards,
Jason - W0JSB
