Maximum low-angle radiation is broadside to the wire. Pattern
can be rotated through 90° by connecting the transmitter
to the E and W wires.
Shown below: slices through N-S and E-W directions. For radiation
at an elevation of 45°, there is a difference of about 18dB
(3 S-points) between N-S and E-W. For 80m DX working, operators
and worked stations will definitely notice the difference between
the two possible pattern orientations. |
