Lots of hams use vertical coaxial-sleeve dipoles
with the coax feedline running up through the sleeve.
Lots of hams prefer end-fed antennas. Does anyone run
his coaxial-sleeve dipole horizontally?

Hi Cecil

I dont propose that there is any practical reason to build a horizontal
coaxial-sleeve horizontal 1/2 wave dipole for HF. But your post suggests
to me an interesting way to build a fullwave "dipole". Two coaxial-sleeve
1/2 waves, end to end, might provide a method of low impedance feeding a
fullwave long horizontal "dipole". I might even try it at VHF.
