Way to go Richard... That'll teach im to post anything about
antennas...

John, my immediate inclination without giving it any hard thought would
be to have them cross near the center lines as opposed to ends...
Now, I don't know about this using a balun as a transmatch... I
personally would not do that, but you may be perfectly happy with it -
especially if you only operate on one portion of the band and get the
antenna or feedline tuned so you have minimal reactance... BTW, you
will love the folded dipoles, they are just happy antennas...

Thanks, Denny

You know, I used the folded dipole first, but I think the G5RV
outperforms it, but not on 30M and not on 17M, two bands I have interest
in. Frankly my own interest in placement, while not trivial, is not
that important...I just missed antenna threads in the group.
