- Usually the pattern becomes more broadside and the impedance goes up. The impedance of a dipole is around 72 ohms and as you drop the ends, it goes down closer to 50 ohms. With the inverted "V", the

- I propose to tie an inverted vee dipole pretty close to the top of a quite tall tower. I am convinced of the need for a good balun. Is there any advantage to electrically connecting the outer of the

- Roger..... As you know, an inverted vee for a given freq is a balanced antenna with essentially equal current and voltage on both legs. Grounding one leg at or near the feedpoint will destroy that ba

- Roger asked about grounding the coax on the >transmitter< side of the balun. That will NOT destroy the balance of the antenna if the balun does it's job. Dave AB7E ___________________________________

- An underappreciated advantage of using a balun with an inverted vee is that it suppresses vertically polarized noise pickup from the coax. This can help a lot on receive. Rick N6RK __________________

- what kit? You buy a batch of 2.4" toroids in Fair-Rite #31 mix. Wind your coax through it 4 or 5 times. Done.. If you want more choking effectiveness, use multiple toroids. Either stack them or do it

- The theory says.... f(mHz)/234=length in feet of each dipole leg so 234/3.615=66.57 and 234/3.515=64.73 the difference is 66.57-64.73=1.84 feet or 22 inches Start a bit longer and trim as needed. __
