Jim,
I like the sound of Zepp better than dipole. Actually it's probably a
matter
of semantics, and I'm not going to argue how many angels will fit on the
head of a pin! ;>) There is a reason I called it a zepp, and I think it
was in
the 95 or 98 Handbook. Terms many have changed by now.
I actually think it's a dipole only on 80 meters, and technically a doublet
on the other bands! Ooops, I did it!
73,
John, K4AVX
Yes the balun, I think is a 9 to one. It will load and put out a signal on
all bands except 160 meters. Trying to work out an inverted L again
on that band - tricky.

What makes a 130' center fed dipole a Zepp?

That is an excellent setup, John. Nice choice.
I'm a friend of that antenna too and have used it most of the time for the
past 50 years.
