Great thread.

Would never imagine that antenna working well just a few inches over sheet metal...nor can I understand how it could possibly be vertically polarized.

Interesting that the old advertisements for similar designs say the same about vertical polarization and specify a metal roof.

Marconi’s comments about running big power are on point as well. I have little doubt a lot of DX has been worked off stargun “mobile beams”...all antenna theory aside. Put a few kw into anything, and you’re bound to reach to someone.
