[TowerTalk] Vert. 1/2 wave dipole vs Hori. 1/2 wave dipole?

[Peter Voelpel]

A 1/4 wave 80m vertical series fed on 40m is nothing else then a halve wave
vertical on 40m which was questioned about.
A vertical dipol can be fed at one end, center feed is no must.
Radials are useful below ALL kinds of vertical antennas anyway.

Are you talking apples to apples?

I thought the question was a vertical dipole vs a horizontal dipole of the
same size.

It sounds to me like you have a vertical with radials vs a horizontal dipole
