Hey pipe layer, I have read some reports about this advantage for horizontal antennas from some of the big names in radio antennas, but I don't think most in this forum bunch have really considered what is truly being said and meant in those reports.

In my real world experiences I see the obvious differences in polarity and the difference is big and noticeable, but I never considered there was this big of a gain difference either, so I understand these guys point when they say it isn't true.

However, I still think the claim you and others are making in this regard is technically correct, because I see the same thing happen with my models, and I would believe modeling over some writing on a "truck stop restroom wall" any day. <gotproof>
