Ron,

An inverted V has a different radiation pattern than a vertical. Plus, the
multiple dipoles will interact with each other regarding adjustment.

I could discuss it further but since your email address is not valid, I didn't
want to spend the bandwidth here, hi. I guess deleting the "dot" might get the
right address but I'm a little pressed for time to play guessing games right
now, hi.

Evan,

If I thought I would be getting Email response to this post, I would
have included a good address, sorry.

I have decided that I will do a little experimentation. I have a
tripod on the back dormer with a 2m ground plane that is only 5 feet
above the roof. I can use that for an easy access connection point and
run a few dipoles sloping down from there. I will start with 40, 30
and 15 and see what happens. If that works, I will add more bands.
Once I have the lengths worked out, I can raise the center point.

I would be interested in any idea you have on the subject.



Ron
