I'm putting in a G5RV. The twin lead feedline is of course part of the
radiation system. Due to trees, powerlines, etc, I can: a) Run it horizontally 90 deg away from the dipole, at 5 ft above roof ridgeline. b) Run it 45 deg down for 15 ft then vertical for remainder (all at 90 deg to dipole). But it ends up between 2 houses, hidden by a hill. c) Run it at about 15-45 deg to dipole, horizontally even with one leg of dipole. Of course, one answer is "try them and see which works best". But if this is a well known problem with well-known solutions, I'd like to hear. I'm thinking "a" is my best bet, due to 90 to dipole, but I've never heard of running the feedline horizontally. |
