KK4OBI Bent Dipoles


This is the 4NEC2 antenna model for: Standard Horizontal Bent-End Dipoles

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 Standardized model for Bent-End Dipole comparison studies.
CM #14 AWG. 1/2 wavelength feedpoint over ground at 28.4 mc. 
CM Variable distance of bend from ends.  Up or down bend.
CM Variable angle of bend.  Up or down angle.
