[BC] Shively Vertical Antenna question

[Richard Fry]

I had emailed Bob Surette about the original query before my first post on 
this subject.  After I didn't hear from him for a while I went ahead and 
posted by NEC plot and comments.

But below is a response I got from him this morning.

Good morning Dick

I am traveling all this week so I will not be able to log onto the BNet, so
please do my a favor and answer for me.

Most of our vertically only antennas (6510 and 6513) sold are designed to
have a small horizontal component.  So instead of adding a horizontal
radiator with a power divider to add the horizontal component, we simply
weld the arms of the dipoles at the appropriate angle.  If I remember
correctly the highest angle was 11 degrees and the lowest angle was just
under 1 degree.

I Hope this answer the question.  My cell phone number is (clipped) if you
would like to talk about this.

Thanks for the heads up

Bob
