Shootout: End-Fed Half Wave Vertical vs. 135′ OCF Dipole
On Tuesday, November 8th, Stan WB2LQF brought his 31′ end fed half wave vertical to Tony W1ZMB’s house. They compared the vertical to Tony’s 135′ OCF dipoles which were mounted high and in the clear. Stan put his vertical on Tony’s backyard deck between the house, a bird feeder, and rising terrain. The result were very interesting. See for yourselves at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWkpQ785Pjo
