Robb,

I bought one of those a ways back for my CB. As you know from last year, and currently, I am still experiencing 3 db of noise level at night on my base. Lately, I have noticed, that by morning, the db level of floor noise is gone. Not even 1 db. Strange eh? Then a thought occurred to me. Maybe it is a bad halide street lamp buzzing as soon as dusk approaches, and at dawn, the noise is gone.

Anyways, in which brings me to something I read last year and correct me if I'm wrong, but by mounting a dip pole antenna horizontally, one can then avoid the vertically polarized interference or noise that our vertically mounted base antennas are picking up. Same as in using a beam antenna horizontally.

So I am also wanting to set mine up as soon as it gets warmer out.
Interesting post Robb.
