Default U dipoles

In article , says...


Yeah. Search for V antenna on the Web. A V antenna has some gain
pointing approximately away from the apex. Your description indicates
that you might warm the clouds. Jimp's suggestion is a good one.


I know about th emodling programs and have played with a few that
already have the elements in them. Just have not seen one for the U
shaped one like I have. I am not too familiar on how to enter elements
that are not streight. Come to think of it, I guess I could enter it
just as a V shape like the inverted V antennas are.

The V antennas that have gain I am thinking of are usully horizontal
and several wavelengths long.
