If that is truly an air dielectric coax, meaning a helical spiral structure instead of foam dielectric, then it has to be pressurized or run with a dryer if it's outside. An air dielectric 1/2 inch l

The problem with these antennas (one problem at least) is when they are used by hams who don't understand the lack of reciprocity between transmitting and receiving when using them. They hear great b

Inverted Vs are compromise antennas in most cases compared to flat top dipoles. The ARRL hyped the inverted V in handbooks claiming its advantage with a 50 ohm Z (as if 75 ohms would make an antenna

The current distribution from the feed point to ends doesn't taper linearly but halfway out it isn't close to maximum. I can't model anything here and anyway, I don't put all my trust in antenna mode

It's a fixed non-rotatable wire beam. A balanced antenna. Feed it with balanced line. Light weight ladder line in the 400 to 600 ohm range. You can use AWG 16 stranded. No baluns, significant loss, h

Hi Steve, You originally expressed interest in 80 meter antennas so I'm going to address that in the context of vertical dipoles. Firstly, you left out some information that matters: How high are you

By the way, I don't know if this was pointed out or not, but with a very good low loss ground system, creating a highly efficient vertical monopole, the power density is almost twice as high as that

There's no mileage to vary because a receiving test is hardly any kind of accurate assessment of antenna transmitting efficiency. Put up a half wave vertical and put in a ground system of at least 6

"Modeling" is hardly conclusive and you don't say how long your modeled radials were. They have to be 1/2 lamda to return the induced currents in earth from the current maxima halfway up the driven

In this case reciprocity may not exist. Also, if you are measuring skywave received signals, there are variables that are not being controlled. You also compared the radialess half wave with a 90 de
