Half square
 

Several web pages say to feed this antenna at top corner so it seems
to be unbalanced antenna.Is that correct?Any suggestions regarding
instalation of this antenna?
tnx

Yes, you feed it at the corner where the flat top ends and the vertical leg
goes down. Keep the vertical leg at least 10 feet from any tower. I use
two tall trees for my 80 half square. The coax should come down away from
the vertical leg. The best way is to have it come down splitting the angle
between the vertical leg and the center. Its not critical however.

Hi,

for hf antenna easier to let it hang down and for vhf you have element
pointing up
but the horizontal portion cancels out. Either way end fed.

www.cebik.com has large section on half square at hf and vhf.
