- JohnI'm doing exactly that. But The horizontal portion of my feedline as it leads away from the vertical dipole is not exactly horizontal, it drops down at maybe a 30 degree angle for about 8' , then

- JeffAssuming your comments pertain to a wire dipole. Mine is made of aluminum tubing, a repurposed DE from a 20 meter yagi, modified somewhat to put bigger diameter tubing at the bottom half. Intenti

- In order to make measurements of impedance, etc on an antenna with any of the various analyzers on the market, one must connect the analyzer to the antenna with some length of coax. And unless the an
