hi

i was sorta just wondering shooting from the hip (ie not a exact
calculated ans) what happens if you put up a nice inverted v supported
by a center pole of fiberglass vs a metal pole

a) the radation pattern

b) overall swr's and efficiency


big small or no diff?


Very small difference all the way around.
I prefer metal masts because they are better lightning
returns. I'd rather have the metal mast taking the brunt of
the strike to ground rather than the feedline of an antenna.
