Just curious as to what most of you are using as an antenna on
the 30 Meter band?

My 130 ft. center-fed dipole has an interesting pattern on 30m. It's
main lobes are broadside with a gain of 9 dBi, a TOA of 34 deg, and
a horizontal beamwidth of 33 deg. Off the ends, the gain is 3 dBi
with a horizontal beamwidth of 60 deg. In other words, it has gain
over a ground mounted quarter-wave monopole in 4 directions for more
than 180 degrees of the horizontal.
