Default antenna

Out of desperation, I thought I'd post SOMETHING (ANYTHING) with the
word "antenna" in it.

I am preparing to set up a 2nd wire antenna at approx 90 degrees from my
G5RV. This antenna is a purchased folded dipole from DX
Engineering. It'll be connected to 400 ohm twin lead to a 4:1 Balun (DX
Engineering again) and then RG8/U into the shack.

Is it better to place it 90 degrees from the center or from one of the
ends? The ARRL Antenna Book shows both methods.

Thanks to ANYONE that answers "en forme"
