  TERMINATED SLOPING "V"
  6-115. The sloping "V" antenna is a short- to long-range sky-wave antenna that the radio operator can
  build in the field (Figure 6-18). Gain and directivity depend on leg length. For reasonable performance, the
  antenna should be at least one-half wavelength long. To make the antenna directional, the operator puts
  terminating resistors on each leg on the open part of the "V." The terminating resistors should be 300 ohms
  and be capable of absorbing one-half of the transmitter’s power output. These terminating resistors are
  either procured or locally made. Using the terminating resistors, the operator aims the antenna so that the
  line cutting the "V" in half points at the distant station.
