I'm considering installing an inverted V 40 meter dipole under the eaves of my
house. There is room for a longer arm on one side than the other.

1) Would I be better off making each arm as long as possible and adding whatever
matching circuit is required?

2) Should I make both sides equal to the shorter arm even if this makes the
antenna too short to self resonate?

3) Should I make both sides equal in case there is sufficient length to allow
the antenna to self resonate.

Sorry for the complexity of the question.

Thanks for any help.
