I have a commercially made OCF antenna. I would like to mount it in Inverted V using a single support. Q: should it be suspended at the feed point OR from the physical center i.e half way between the ends like a normal dipole? The former would be asymetrical and would presumably distort the radiation pattern making is a bit directional. The latter might give a more uniform pattern around the horizon? Maybe not enough difference to matter?
