"V" Dipole Antenna
WB8YKH wrote:
There is much literature on the inverted "V" antenna but I've found nothing on a "V" Dipole Antenna. Can someone help me with resources or information on installation and effects of a "V" Dipole? In my current location I am unable to raise my center point much more than 15 feet off ground. However I can raise the endpoints 30+ feet. Before I go through much effort on the install I'd like to know what kind of performance I can expect. Thank you for your insights! Most dipoles are of the V type, having that weight in the middle and all. Your dipole will work okay, go for it. What is the reason for the center being half as high as the ends? There will be some droop always, unless you place too much tension on the wires - don't do it. It looks nice and all, but that antenna's probably going to come down before too long. Technically, there will be some differences between it and a straight dipole. Just not that huge, and hey, that is what your situation allows! If you give me your lengths and frequencies you are using, I can model it for you. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
