Abstract
Described is a universal dipole which may include a feed line coupled to a first fitting; a balun coupled to a second fitting; a first variable length antenna element coupled to the first fitting; a second variable length antenna element coupled to the second fitting; a support plate holding the feed line and the balun at a fixed spacing, the support plate including a short circuit path between the feed line and the balun; and a sliding short assembly attachable between the feed line and the balun to create a short circuit at variable distances along the feed line and the balun.
