KK4OBI Bent Dipoles


This is the 4NEC2 antenna bend model for: Zeppelin  horizontal
To use this model:
4NEC2 is an NEC2, NEC4, Windows based antenna modeler and optimizer by Arie Voors.
It is available free of charge at: www.qsl.net/4nec2/


CM This is a Zeppelin type antenna where the 1/4-wave matching section is fed at the middle of the closed end.
CM To do this the 1/4-wave wires are shortened by half the separation distance. 
CM Procedure is to: Set Frequency. Set X ~ 1/2 wave. Set A~ 1/4 wave.   Optimize (F12) lengths X and A..
