[TowerTalk] Inverted Vees

[wesattaway]

The inverted vee format does help at low heights.  However,  as overall height is raised then best performance occurs when the wires are level.   I think Jim Briwn may have some data on this.

Tell us more, like the balun you’re using and location, feedline type, length and height. 

My yard is slopped, each end of my Zep is at different heights above ground. It was a mediocre performer until I raised the feedpoint from 30ft to approximately 45ft.

> Quick question:? When mounting an inverted Vee antenna,? one end can end at a higher level (perhaps in a tree and the other end is lower) obviously the antenna will perform to some degree better.? However, is there any advantage to having the "hot end" higher and the "ground end" lower, compared to the opposite (ground end higher and hot end lower)?
