Inverted vee diploe

Post by BIGboom1 »

I am just about to erect a inverted vee diploe and I think I have the correct measurements. The only thing that I am not sure about is will I need a RF choke and where it will be placed. The dipole is going in the loft. Any replies will be a great help guys and girls.

Usually yes, you need RF choke. Placed just below antenna feedpoint.
Made from coax would be enough.

With antenna in the loft it does not matter, it won't fix bad antenna performance nor rf field floating around on transmit.
