Default Question is 'it' a Longwire {Random Wire} Antenna -or- Inverted "L" Antenna ?

What makes your Dipole a "Z" Dipole ?

Well, it's a dipole shaped into a Z shape in
order to fit this lot.

What are the Advantages of the "Z" Dipole
over a stabdard Dipole ?

None. It is slightly inferior to a "straight" dipole.
But...It's more efficient than most any kind of
loaded dipole. So...It's about the next best thing
to a normal straight dipole. I use it on 160m for
NVIS. When I go longer haul, I go to the vertical.
