FM Vertical Stick Dipole V-POL TRUE-OMNI
FM Vertical Stick Dipole TRUE-OMNI with Vertical Polarization analyzed using 4nec2 after
adjusting Length for "best fit" of SWR across the FM Band.
For HICT (Half-Inch Copper Tubing, actually O.D. = 0.569-in), Optimum Overall Length = 57.4-in.

Since Antenna Pattern is a Low-Gain Omni, 75-ohm Coax can be connected DIRECTLY to Center Feedpoint,
eliminating any Loss in a 1:1 Balun, with minimal Common Mode Current impact on the Antenna Pattern
(as expected in High-Gain Yagi's).

Response to RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization) is the same as for LHCP (Left Hand Circular Polarization)
signals, so there is no suppression of Multipath Reflections.  [Most Reflections reverse Handedness.]
