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
yes that is where the voodoo comes in , it is an inverted v not connected
at the apex and not a v. it is a more like a starwars folding wing with
the connedtion at the mid center bottom. of the delta. It is one of 10 or
so temporary antennas and seems to work about as well as any of them. I
real
I agree. It sounds just like a good old inverted V.

Sounds like he created an inverted Vee to me.

Marc,
You just haven't read the right pages. Read about the "Cob Web" antenna
being sold by MFJ and others. Similar in characteristics. Look at
http://karinya.net/g3txq/cobweb/ Also, I, W5RH, had a whole BVARC
newsletter Radio Hotel series on loops and one of my loops was a full wave
40 me
It all depends on propagation. Even if your antenna is not efficient on
20 meters as a 40 meter dipole, it might still be able to make the trip.
I tuned my 40 meter inverted V to 80 meters and connected to a Winlink
gateway near Austin with average transfer speed. It probably wasn't all
that gr
It works because electrons can flow through the wire and radiate. They
have to go somewhere. Guess they went to Mississippi.

This morning i took a 40m dipole attached the wire ends with a zip tie. (No

the top was at the top of my mast and the bottom was as high as i could
