Apologize, the survey website wouldn't let me adjust the window, but here are the results typed:
1. Horizontally Configured (under 20 feet) -28 votes
2. L Configuration (feed point low) - 27 votes
3. Horizontally configured (over 20 feet) -21 votes
4. Sloper (feed point low) -20 votes
5. Sloper (feed point high) -19 votes
6. Vertically configured (feed point low) -11 votes
7. Random wire pattern -11 votes
8. "U" pattern -4 votes
9. Vertically configured (feed point high) -3 votes
I could always post a new poll if everyone would want one? I was just curious initially when I came into the hobby as to how most folks have their end feds.
Initially, end feds seem appealing to most, but the length of the wire is usually what dictates the configuration. My end feds are usually in a sloper or an "L" configuration because that's what works in my backyard. At one point I even had my end fed wrapped around my yard fence, and while it worked really well for receiving, I think the ground loss gave me trouble when transmitting with a wire that low. The great thing about end feds? You can try them in a bunch of different spots and see how they work!
