- hi, I am going to hang a 160 meter dipole w/1:1 balun tomorrow and am wondering if there is a recommended method for how to hang it "polarity-wise". One half of the dipole is going to extend over som

- You have equal currents in the dipole on each side, and it makes no difference. Tree N6TR tree@kkn.net

- Hi Jason If you don't have a balun and happen to have a bad combination of feedline shield electrical length, there can be quite a bit of difference. Which side should be where would be random luck.

- Jason, For a higher performance DX antenna try to get the high current or center portion of the dipole as vertical as possible. Even in a Z configuration is far better than an inverted Vee. Also dres

- There is another thing to keep in mind regarding threatment of the ends of a dipole. It is true that you will still get good radiation from a dipole that has the last 20-30% of the ends hanging down,
