[Antennas] B&W AC 1.8-30 vs BWD terminated antennas?

[William Lambing]

Dave, the V-Beam and Rhombic use resistors for a reason.  Having a resistor at the feed point is about like putting a dummy load at the end of the feed line and hanging wires out to radiate.

Had V's (terminated and unterminated) and Rhombics in the USAF in Okinawa.  They have a place and where needed, do very well.

A dipole works better than any B&W antenna with the resistor at the feed point.
