:

A biconal has all the legs the same length. I varied the lengths to
see if I could get by with less than 15 feet. It was not successful. A
biconal cage however gets really wide. Less than 2:1 from 3.5 to 4.


Given the wind potential here, along with loading on my antenna support
lines, I probably should go with the biconical dipole over a cage. I do
have plenty of room to do a 15' end spacing, though.

As an aside, anecdotally the cage and biconal are both quieter than a
dipole.


I hadn't seen any reference to noise benefits from a biconical, so
that's nice to hear! Thanks for the info.
