I think that the V is significant, though I'm not qualified in Radio electronics. All of the antenna sold by the verious aviation suppliers seem to be of that shape. I think that you were asking if the balun has to be vertical or can it be horizontal. my copper foil antenna is glued to the bottom exterior of my fuselage and the balun is laying on the bottom skin on the interior, without reguard to orientation. It seems to work ok. > > Orma > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
