I don't really know how to navigate this site for I lost 90% of my vision. I still build antenna mounts just like the one in the old website of the chemistry dept of Hawaii.

The site came down many years ago and I saved the old website in Safari on my MacBook and I had it converted to PDF for everyone to use. Using antenna modeling from another Amateur Radio operator KK4OBI, I found out 90 degree bent dipoles are inherently 50 to 52Ω at the feedpoint.  I have tested the V dipole on 40-20-15-12-11-10-6 Meter band so for with perfect results not needing an antenna tuner. Just RG-58 or RG-8x coax to rig. My notes are on my QRZ pages and Google Docs Open source for others to view. I somewhat see a paperclip to attach files but just can't see good enough. If any one or any body has questions just email me or call me any time and I do mean any time. 73 KB1UKU/M
