Thank you to all three of you...
I saw the webpage.. I must admit I did have too much faith in this 'offset'
kind of antenna.... I am going to send this webpage to the other group...
Personally, I don't believe in baluns even thought they seem to have their
benefits.. I still believe that matching circuts should be variable but I am
always open to more eduction...
Thanks for your input... much appreciated...

Greetings

A gentleman on another group.. is telling me that he wants to put up an
offset dipole antenna and feed it with a balum.. He is a new amateur and
I
can tell he does't have much antenna knowledge...

He is being advise to use an offset antenna wich in my mind isn't the
best
answer to his problem....

That may depend to some extent on what his problem is grin

Does anyone know of a website that describes the offset antenna better
than
I can....

http://www.cebik.com/gup/gup9.html seems a good place to start.
