Hey folks, this is going to sound like a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyhow because you HAM folks have some funny terminologies sometimes and I only get one shot at this. If I screw it up, I have to build a whole new wiring harness.
My instructions say "The upward end of Dipole #1 should have the same polarity as the downward end of Dipole #2"
My dipoles (there are two of them) are tilted on a 30 degree angle so there's an uphill side and a downhill side on each dipole. On Dipole #1, the center conductor is connected to the uphill side and shield connected to the downhill side.
When they use the term "Polarity", the center conductor, if we considered that as the positive side, should be on the uphill side of Dipole 1 and the downhill side of Dipole 2 right?
I said it was a stupid question right? I'm 99.9% sure I'm correct but that 0.1% is bugging me.
