on 27 MHz , are the short ground elements on a omni antenna like a sirio 2016 mounted a few feet above a flat side beam long enough to effect the beams performance enough to be detected by the typical user ?


and ...... how much do full size ground elements effect a horizontal beam below them ? does it help or minimize the effect if the omnis ground elements are 45 degrees parallel to the beams elements ? like a X over an H .  HXH
