I'm using 300Ohm Twinlead as an ant hooked up to a 4:1 current balun. But,

split and divided like a dipole but can't just as it is together.

Is it still functioning exactly as a bad dipole?
I'm getting great reception, low noise. I just don't want to limit myself
with a dipole.

Definitely not functioning as a dipole based on your description.
However, as long as you're getting good reception does it matter? I
am curious, are you running it vertical, horizontal or a combination
of the two?

Happy Thanksgiving,

I have it sloping from the top rail of one side of the terrace, down to the
bottom of the other side of the terrace front. From there it's sloping back
up on the smaller side of the terrace to the window. So it's sloping down,
then to the side of the terrace sloping up then to the window. I'm in front
of the ocean also.
