The Vee Beam is used on 80 and 40 metre bands at ZL1ZLD. The feedpoint is at the building tower and each end is supported on a lattice tower in the antenna field.
At each end of the Vee Beam there is a terminating resistor in a plastic box, which makes the antenna directional (favouring the south).
