Marc, my first dipole was 20M and in the attic of my 675 sq ft apartment. The diagonal could not support the entire length, so a few feet hung vertical on the ends. The antenna doesnt care. I think i worked 14 countries on that antenna. So for the most part, it doesnt really matter how you array the halves of your dipole. Plenty of shapes. Your signal will still get out.

It is one of 10 or so temporary antennas and seems to work about as well as any of them. I really hope I am learning something. Marc.
