Not having a balanced "T" top section defeats the whole purpose of
reducing the radiation from the top horizontal wire. IMHO the more you
can reduce wasted radiation of the cloud warmer effect the better your
antenna will perform for DX.

Based on the modeling I’m leaning towards the off center fed design primarily
because It has a lower SWR at resonance (1.83Mhz) than the traditional
vertical, and removes the need for building/adding a matching network if I
only want to cover the lower portion of the band (CW). Thoughts?
