In article , says...

Larry, what do you mean by 'offset'? Do you really mean 'off-center fed'? If
that's the case the only reason one would want to feed an antenna off center
would be if it permitted a better chance for a 90° angle between the antenna
and
the feedline from where the feedline enters the house.

I can think of a couple more. One reason would be
to achieve a reasonably good match to the antenna
on more than one band using coax and no transmatch.
Another reason is that an off-center-fed dipole tends
to have a broader SWR curve than a center-fed dipole
(coax feed and single-band operation assumed).

73,
Bob
