Gayle. I am also putting up an inverted V 80 meter wire Die pole and was going to ask the same question. My lot points to all four points of the compass. North, East, South, West. So what is the best direction to point the ends of the wire and does it have to be 180 degs or can one leg be off center of the end? I know that the ends do not radiate well so if I go NW and SE would that be the best. Gerald Muller K9GEM gmuller...@aol.com

I do know that broadside is where most of my signals will come from...or does it really matter?? Also usually one sets up dipoles wires so the combined asmith is close to 180 degrees. Can I do a 90 degree combined asmith...... or will that decrease my signals? Thank you for your thoughts guys, I appreciate it!
