Re: [BVARC] Antenna voodoo

[Chris Medlin via BVARC]

Marc, my first dipole was 20M and in the attic of my 675 sq ft apartment. The 
diagonal could not support the entire length, so a few feet hung vertical on 
the ends.
The antenna doesnt care. I think i worked 14 countries on that antenna. So for 
the most part, it doesnt really matter how you array the halves of your dipole. 
Plenty of shapes. Your signal will still get out.

temporary antennas and seems to work about as well as any of them.  I really 
hope I am learning something.

I agree. It sounds just like a good old inverted V.
