Just out of the noise here in Uxbridge, MA 00:30 UTC. Listening on
the R75 on the Twisted Terminated Folded Dipole in the Attic .


Snip

You mean Tilted Terminated Folded Dipole (T2FD)?

Hi Telamon,

It started out as a tilted dipole, but I didn't have enough height in
the attic, so RHF suggested that I twist it around about it's axis. It
works very nice, but still some noise from all the electronic gadgets
in the house. In the fall I will stick a long wire across the river in
the way back.


Nothing wrong with the dipole being horizontal instead of tilted. I do
not think twisting it is a great idea but it looks like it works OK.
