I've moved the legs up to about "level" but on the same plane it is in
a "Vee" configuration, close to 90 degrees. It seems to be performing
OK, but I'm concerned that at 90 degrees or less some kind of signal
cancellation can occur. True?

Probably preferable to have them 100 degrees or better angle?

Thanks,

Chuck


Chuck, 120 degrees of the included angle of a dipole (fanned underneath a
horizontal, or installed as an inverted-vee by itself) was described in this
forum as the minimum recommended angle for optimal performance. I'm sorry I
can't locate a file I probably saved that information in, but it is a number
that the originator in this group might recognize as his suggestion ;-)

Best regards,

Jack
