[Antennas] Variation on coaxial dipole antenna

[David Robbins K1TTT]

I think the draw to it is that while it is really electrically a normal
center fed dipole it is physically fed from the end of an element.  So it is
easier to install vertically in most cases.  I would worry about using it
with high power because of the high voltage at the end of the tubing and
there may be other tendencies to pick up rf on the shield since it is in
line with the radiating element and off center, though it may be reduced by
being 1/4 wave from the high current at the feedpoint.
