hi

i was sorta just wondering shooting from the hip (ie not a exact
calculated ans) what happens if you put up a nice inverted v supported
by a center pole of fiberglass vs a metal pole
a) the radation pattern

b) overall swr's and efficiency

How did you intend feeding it? Will the feedline look like a vertical
conductor, much like a metal support pole would?

thanks all, well feedline aside i was only up to the 'mounting' phase
wondering just in theory at that point what it would do (fiberglass vs
metal)

i supposed i would have gotten myself into trouble w/the next question
whats the best way to mount the coax to min it 'interfering' w/the
antenna itself if the ans to the above was fiberglass

my thoughts woulda been to feed it in the center

just really trying to both figure the best performance and trying to
get a mental picture of whats going on the consequence wise
