Does anyone have a picture of one of these in use? Im curious to building one. I have everything needed and was considering a Dipole but with the gain on this why bother with a dipole except for the convientness of hanging it.
No where have I read if making a rectangle loop does it have to stay in a rectangle all the time? If I hang this from a tree at 30' of coarse there is going to be sag in the wire on both the top and bottom. Does it need to stay in a perfect rectangle? if the wind blows it will no longer be a rectangle unless all 4 sides are supported by some type of structure correct? so would i basically need to build a structure and attach the wire to it?
