I doubt you will see any significant difference.
I've done a lot of modeling with V's and inverted V's. Except for a slight
diffenence due to ground effects at low heights, there is no difference
between them.
Fair enough. I've seen antennas loaded down with feedline but given that V
forms are used well, the slight V in those cases, let alone some sag, might
not be a concern for me. My main interest came out of my wish to try a
befavare antenna I can install almost as fast as I can run the distance. That
one would have no support over at least a half mile, and I don't yet know
whether it will be mechanically sound till I finish designing and making it.
