Post Solid or wire dipole ?
Would an aluminium tube type dipole work better than a wire dipole of same length etc?
For instance an 18ft horizontal 10m dipole or an 18ft wire dipole ..

Just interested to know , I know the solid type could be rotated so that's beneficial but I'm interested to know any difference mounted in the same plane ?

Cheers Ricky

as Steve says, the bigger the cross-section, the wider the bandwidth.
