antenna is V- ed. not in a straight line. the limited
instruction that came with the ant shows a picture of a V inline/ straight. i know what your thinking; me too. i contacted alpha-delta and ask about this, they said i could mount it center up and legs at 90 degrees with almost no lose of receive eff. it almost becomes a double sloper at less than 90 degrees. been a long time that i played with ant. the alpha-delta will be 40 ft and the long wire will be lowered to 20 ft. like Steve said- play with and see what ya get. almost ready to retire here, so, i got time before the winter returns.. thanks really high frequency. let you guys know how i make out here...

Drifter... .. DRIFTER, If as you describe your current Antenna set-up with the Top-Fed Double Sloper laid out in a Horizontal "V". IIRC the reception pattern of this Antenna configuration tends to be 'directional' from the Apex of the "V" towards the End-Tips. ~ RHF .. |

some thing to ponder. the legs will be about
80 to 90 degrees apart. from 40ft high to 10ft low on a 60 degree slop. i'll fire another email to alpha-delta and check on the directional pattern of this set-up. i had given some thought to the side to side and end to end of a long wire. guess i'll get an education on this one. it all seemed easy back in the 50s/60s when i was a kid with a new ticket. (lot easier to climb back then too). going to rely on Steve and the gang here. and a little web surf and see if someone somewhere used this config. thanks reallyhighfreq- gives me more to think about...
