Yes, and it's a MUST for any wire where one or both ends are rigged to a
tree with one end tied to a weight to allow for tree sway in the wind.
K2RD showed me how to do that without

If someone asked if anyone was knowledgeable about contesting or say
eme, would you just answer yes or no? Or would you offer assistance to
the questioner?
My first ham antenna was a folded dipole for 40m. It was described in
my first ARRL Handbook as there

Low dipoles are closer to 50 ohms, high dipoles are closer to 75 ohms.
Low would be much less than a quarter wave, high would be much more than
a quarter wave.
BTW -- there are a couple of very useful graphics that help understand
this at the beginning

I just finished building a half-wave 40-meter dipole and have it nicely
tuned for the middle of the SSB segment. Out of necessity, the tuning
process was carried out with the antenna horizontal.
Feedpoint Z of horizontal antennas is slightly

Slack reasonable cut.
No dumb questions, just dumb answers, from time to time.
But I’m amazed at the restraint shown by many who are avoiding the tithe of
arms-appointed expert, especially when we have a passel of Big Swinging Dudes
on the line.
The query might have been a bit more
Mine is well-behaved.

When and if the query is expanded to source commentary from those “super-well

"Anybody out there super-well versed in the behavior of the half-wave dipole?"
There are only two possible answers:
Yes
No
I speculate that, given the expertise of this group, "Yes" is the right answer.
However, I have no clue how the answer to your question will be useful to you.
I suppose

You do have a copy of the ARRL Handbook, don't you? Every ham should
have one, and there's a lot of tutorial material in it. I'd bet that

You're a lot less likely to get an answer to that question than you
would the answer to whatever question you actually want answered.

It's showing up on the reflector. Kind of leading, no win question. But
I'm a suckered. Been using 1/2 wave dipoles for 60 years. What is the
question?
