[Antennas] "Perfect Dipole"

[tttt ccccc]

I had a "crossed dipole" system up 60'.  E-W was a 40 meter dipole, N-S
was an 80

meter dipole with a 40m dipole underneath it.  Both fed via a toroid
balun and a

DPDT relay.  These were very nearly at 90 degrees, and at the same height
and

plane.

About 1 out of 20 times, changing the 40m orientation would have a
detectable effect 

on heard signal.  Typically, this was going from "I think there is
something there" to

barely hearing the station.  CW operation.  

I am currently using a trap beam element pair as a rotary dipole.  I
detect little, if any,

directivity, even stations off the ends are unchanged.
