Wanted to move on from my 1/4 wave ground plane antenna and build a dipole. Found it particularly challenging due to the gamma match and stuff.

Came aware of inverted V dipoles and cooked this shit up in MANNA-GAL. Is this shit stupid? I got no SWR tool for measurement right now but bought one and in the mean time I decided to study this dipole thing.

Please need help with this, is it a stupid idea at all? Have any of you seen/done this before? I'll keep on studying for sure. Just want to know your thoughts

Kinda inspired by the P40 nose art from WW2.

Ended up styling it like a cyclops, grey hair and shit.

Plan on adding some girl on the side, like those B29 bombers. What do you guys think?

It's engine block paint so it resists a bit more the heat. I am aware that it may not survive in the long term, but that doesn't matter.
