Default folding a dipole in half

I presume by this you mean you have enough, total length, to create a
halfwave dipole for 20M in the conventional sense.


No, I don't. I have exactly 25 feet. This needs to include any insulaters
of support ropes at the ends, if I use them.

Yes, and it brings into doubt my presumption above. It would inform
us all if you gave us the dimensions of your available space.

What would happen if I were to end feed it as if it were two seperate
wires, either with a balun or without? Would it work? What is this called?


An aircooled resistor.


Oh, thanks.

Geoff.
