[Antennas] Multiband Vertical Versus Multiband Dipole (HF)

[CHRISTOPHER BOONE]

Got to remember the end of a dipole is a high voltage point!!! Putting it near
ground where someone may be able to touch it can be dangerous at high RF
levels...

here is a great URL for articles on verticals
and dipoles vs gnd planes! AND antennas in general...excellent reading for
all!
