[Antennas] Questions on installed dipole

[Zacharias Liangas]

Dear friends of the list 

MY question on a previous mesage has not been replied. Last week i have amde 
a temporory dipole antenna  with a wire of 0.5mm diametter  (telphonic wire)  the 
one part supported on trees  and the other supported over and by TV cables. 
The part over trees was 12 m but the other part was 16 m.Height is abt 3 m 
above ground. 
Connecting wire was  twin 1.5 mm  wire , conecte to the 300 OHm input of the 
ICOM RR75 ( has  digital S meter) 
Using it  i found that  reversing the wires in the 300Ohm  input  threre was soem 
little directivity , lower  signal (coresponding to the wire conected on the main) of 
up to 2 S units (or 12-15dB) even a antenna tuner is used! 
Making comparisons  with my main 16 m wire #12 signal is on most cases up to 
2 S units less in my most wanted bands , but but with much lesser noise.( over 
15 db)  height of this antenna is 5 m above ground. 

MY questions are: 
It is corect that tress can effect reception? 
It is corect that reversing the poles of the dipole can seem as  using a  diferent 
antenna? 
It is also corect that  the low signal in receiver is due to very thin wire? 


MY intention is later to install one 6 band inverted V.Maximum height will be abt 
12m Do you have any ideas?
