Nothing changes much. The radiation pattern will favor the

there may be an abundance of feedline radiation.


Then, would the center feed be the best way to go?


Balanced center-feeding a balanced antenna will tend to
minimize the common-mode currents but some antennas, like
the Carolina Windom depend upon feedline radiation for
their radiation patterns. What are you trying to
accomplish?
