I was asked a question by a newcomer to HF today. After thinking about it, I realized it had never really occurred to me. So I’ll pass it on to the group and see what the antenna gurus think.
Is there ever a time where a slight imbalance in a dipole could be beneficial? My first inclination was, No, other than the obvious OCF Dipole. But considering that you could have very different conditions under an antenna, both above the ground and under the ground, not to mention a difference in height above ground. What do you think. Could a couple of inches or so difference in the length of the legs of a dipole ever work in your favor?
