Dave Casler (KE0OG) does an excellent job of showing us the advantages and disadvantages of using a variety of dipole antenna configurations. Here are some comment from Dave: Oggie Don Gardner, KC3RDV, has questions about feeding a dipole. He doesn't want the coax hanging down in the middle of the yard and is looking for options. We look at center-fed dipoles, off-center-fed dipoles, and end-fed dipoles. Subscribe: https://youtube.com/user/davecasler ​ . Ask Dave Playlist: https://goo.gl/inaQeB ​ .
