The ham radio HF antenna, of the half-wave dipole variety, requires a lot of horizontal space. This Page Covers1. “Full Sloper” Dipole 2. Inverted “V” Dipole 3. Inverted “U” Dipole It’s possible, however, to “fit” a full-length half-wave dipole in less horizontal space, while retaining most, if not all the advantages of the “classic dipole” described elsewhere on this site. (See Antenna Section […]
