[TowerTalk] Broadband 75/80m Inverted Vee

[john at kk9a.com]

I do not recall this article, I thought that he used phased dipoles after 
his beam kept breaking.  So is this similar to a fan dipole except the legs 
are equal length and the bandwidth comes from the 10' spacing at the ends?

The March/April 2010 of NCJ (Nat'l Contest Journal) has a simple approach to 
a
broadband 75/80m inverted vee.  The article was written by N3HBX.  It uses a
pair of inverted vees (58 foot legs) fed at a common point with the ends of 
the
inverted vees being 10 feet apart.  Of course the apex height and angle of 
the
inverted vee may change these values a bit.  SWR is less than 2:1 across the
entire band.  Takes a little more real estate, but in my opinion a lot 
easier
than messing around with all of the other options.

Happy DXing,
