"It is an antenna and a good one, but it is not half of a dipole, it is a whole dipole. It does not matter where a dipole is fed, it is still a half wave long."
I beg to differ. A dipole is an antenna with two elements fed at the same location. A half wave end fed is only one element that is a half wave long. -- Mark, KJ7BS Glendale, AZ Editor, The SKCC Centurion Elecraft K2 S/N 0539 Fists # 2972 CC 1806 SKCC # 2240 C56 T20 MQFD # 128 QRP-ARCI # 12647 AZ ScQRPions COGRC Emergency Communications ---- Rick Dettinger <[email protected]> wrote: ============= It is an antenna and a good one, but it is not half of a dipole, it is a whole dipole.
