X-Dipole: Far-field simulations; 15m band.
(Calculations performed using EZNEC+ v5.0)

Centre-fed long-wire
(Simple dipole feed):

N and S wires driven.
E and W wires unconnected.

Model: x45dipole2.ez (simulation frequency set to 21.2MHz).
Strong lobes at ±14° from wire direction (8.3dBi, elevation 12°) and ±35° (8.6dBi, elevation 16°).




Slice through direction marked in red.

Splayed dipole feed:

N and W wires connected.
S and E wires conneceted.

Model: x45splay2.ez (at 21.2MHz).
