Comparison with a real dipole...

--------------------------------------------------

My local expert (and the ARRL Handbooks) and others, including I believe 
Joel Hallas of the ARRL,  all say an OCF Dipole  IS A DIPOLE and 
radiates just like a center fed dipole, but with a different feed point 
impedance ,  which is resolved with a matching unit (choke and balun. ) 
    Where is your proof the OCF radiates differently?   If different, it 
won't matter enough to make it a poor choice.   Nonsense.   K8JHR
