Imagine a half wave dipole with each leg folded back on itself effectively becoming half its original physical length but still the original electrical length, each leg is like a long thin letter `U` ..like a folded dipole that has been cut open circuit opposite the feed point...I shouldn`t have mentioned a vertical because it mis-lead you, it was meant just to describe the configuration of the dipole legs. Hi Len, This is more tenable. A satisfactory dipole, no horrendous loss due to counter winding feed. If you can hoist a beam, about 19 feet wide, with two wires connected at the ends and returning below it about 4 inches coming back within 4 inches of the beam above; then you stand a chance, provided you can match to about a 7 Ohm load. I presume your description follows something like (in fixed font): _____________________________0____________________ __________ | | ———————————————————————————— ————————————————————————————— 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
