[Hallicrafters] inverted V

[David Thompson]

An inverted V just as a dipole has no gain.  The dipole at 1/2 wave does
have a clean figure 8 and somewhat of a null off the ends.
The inverted V is an attempt to fill in the nulls off the end.

At a low height (say 35 feet on 80) both antennas are nearly onmi
directional on skywave.

I have a pair of vertical dipoles that I can end fire either NE or SW that
do have some gain
at low angles.  Stateside is usually down quite a bit over my horizontal
dipole.

Either the dipole or inverted V is a very efficient antenna...just get it up
in the air.
