Re: [HamBrewers] 15 degree gradient on a 80m wire dipole

 

For a V-beam, which actually has to be several wavelengths long
and fed from one end, the angle of droop should be 19 degrees.

As to your own question, all the theory for antennae applies to
those that are several wavelengths in free space clear of all
other obstacles.

Any antennae that we do actually put up is always a compromise, usually
being less than a wavelength away from the house, so the answer is,
put it up and have a go.

The essence of Ham Radio is experimentation and not operating, so put it
up, then change it , and compare results!

hi just wondering if people think a 15 degree gradient on a 80m wire dipole would matter ?? many thanks...
