Default Dipole-2 different wire sizes?

"Szczepan Bialek" wrote in message
.. .
"A dipole antenna is a radio antenna that can be made of a simple wire,
with a center-fed driven element. It consists of two metal conductors of
rod or wire, oriented parallel and collinear with each other (in line with
each other), with a small space between them. "

As you see Your dipoles are mechanically symmetrical.
It can works as the monopole or as the dipole. It depends on electrical
connections.

S*

Good morning Szczepan.
There's a few problems in your quote:
1. it is unattributed
2. it doesn't mention ham radio
3. you, not the quote, have assumed a mechanical symmetry
4. the quote describes (with an obvious and important omission) the
mechanical construction of a dipole. It doesn't describe the electrical
design of a dipole.
5. there's an implicit contradiction within the quote.

Kindest regards, Ian.
