This took me a few years to work out – folding back the end of a dipole or vertical antenna. But I got there in the end. There is no doubt a formula for this, but this is my practical experience. Here is the link to the Linear Loaded Dipole: https://youtu.be/zWFU-VWOSJI

Let us understand what happens if you have a hill or mountain in the way of your radio signal because I recently published a video showing you what happens if you have a slope going towards the target! This is the other way around. We can calculate the angle between you and the hill and then work out the losses. 73. Callum.

Easy way of working out how long your dipole should be – and how to fix any errors using a simple calculator. Enjoy. Callum.
My Single TIP before any Portable, Field Day or Holiday ops. Callum.
