I have a multi band dipole strung up as an inverted Vee from my 80 ft tower.
I have a run-out of only 50 ft due to the small size/shape of my lot. If I
pull the top of the Vee all the way to the top of the tower, the Vee gets
quite steep - only 30 degrees. Of course I can make the angle wider by
lowering the apex of the Vee. So what is more important, height or slope?
What would be the best compromise? BTW, the antenna is an Alpha Delta DX-LB
Plus 160M, 80M, 40M, 20M, 10M.
