I have heard that the gamma fed dipole has a skewed radiation pattern in

Hi John,

You could have heard the same thing said for the opposite design - and
they would BOTH be true.

The devil is in the details, such as how much skew would it take to
bother you? Then there is the question, how much skew before it would
it matter anyway? Some folks sweat over things they couldn't possibly
measure. Worse yet, they would pay more to change things than they
would get back in improvement.
