Yes, you feed it at the corner where the flat top ends and the vertical leg

The best way is to have it come down splitting the angle between the vertical leg and the center. Its not critical however. 73 Dave K4JRB ve3bts wrote in message m...

Hi,
for hf antenna easier to let it hang down and for vhf you have element pointing up but the horizontal portion cancels out. Either way end fed. www.cebik.com has large section on half square at hf and vhf. ron ve3bts wrote: Several web pages say to feed this antenna at top corner so it seems to be unbalanced antenna.Is that correct?Any suggestions regarding instalation of this antenna? tnx |
