[Hallicrafters] Re: Dipole antenna

[David Hollander]

Forget dipoles and inverted vee's if you can't get them up at least a 
1/2 wavelength above ground, go with a vertical or a sloper! You will 
get much better performance. And I am not talking about trap verticals 
with a ground rod.

They take up less space and work very well. I have used single full size 
or top loaded  and phased verticals for  160, 80 and 40 for the past 30 
years and have worked over 270 countries on 75/80 meters and over 250 on 
40 meters.

in 1979 and now in the ARRL book - "Vertical Antenna Classics"

I am currently using a 65 foot vertical based on the above article. It's 
tall but takes up very little space.

Here is another antenna idea for restricted or non-restricted QTH's
