I 'd like some info on vertical dipoles, and don't seem to be able to 
find a good source.

Do they need a good ground system (I'd guess not, but don't know for sure)?
Can they be fed from the lower end via a loading coil or tank circuit?
I'd think they are best fed in the center like a sloper.  If so what's 
the optimum impedance, 600 ohms?.

Thanx for any info....WA�ITP
