Allison, I've thoroughly enjoyed this discussion here! ?I follow the EFHW group and discussion there is informative.?
It looked like a cute/practical/cheap addition to our ubitx.
I use mine without any SWR concern on all bands with no tuner.
It can be installed in ANY fashion that fits! Mine us a sloping inverted ?V ( actually V, depending on how you look at it).
Having lots of success with it.
Thanks for your informative additions
Bo
