If a close match to 50 ohms is required, it is best to adjust the angle
for lowest SWR while maintaining resonance by adjustment of the length.

When I changed my 40 meter dipole from flat to inverted vee, I had to shorten
the legs as the resonance point dropped about 150 KHz.

It's unfortunate that there's not enough room on the reflector to
illustrate the relationships involved.
At the appropriate angle an inverted vee dipole mimics two of the four
lobes of half of a rhombic.
Actually, if the truth were known, the ease of installation with just one
support is the determining factor for most ....
And, a rhombic "wastes" much radiation in achieving the gain it does
produce.
Later I'll have more OT comment about the absurd G5RV.

A flat dipole will have slightly more gain than an inverted V at the same
height. The inverted V will also have to be a bit longer.

Oh…I guess I tend to think of dipoles as being linear in
configuration…such as horizontal dipole, etc.

Why is there so much promotion of dipole antennas over inverted vee
type antennas?
