Thanks , Roy, and let me try to rephrase #2, with
my poor anylitical mind. IF you feed a dipole ,
dead center, on a wire that has an ODD length of
segments, how does that compair to a dipole of
EVEN segments (mathamatically)?
In other words we are describeing a DIPOLE
(balanced feed), with 6 segments (3+, and 3- at
the feedpoint), with a dipole with 7 Wires (
3-1/2 , vs - 3, 1/2 segments, at the same feed
point, or am i tilting at windmills?

Guess the best bet is to make sure Segments ALL
odd numbers!

2) as I have gone from ODD number's to an EVEN numbers, is THIS
anything to worry about? Even with the Driven Element (which, as I
see it, would place the feedpoint (you would expect 50 % off the
ends,IF you use Even # segments, what happens
when the feed is, say 9 (or 4-1/2) segments, at 50 % feed point ?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.
