Looking for a site or information on incoming
radiation angles specifically for 160 metres.
0° with respect to the horizon.
1 How is it measured ?
You could use a spirit level.
1a Can it discriminate between vertical and horizontal
or what ever polarisation
Spirit levels usually only work one way, for an angle relative to
tangential to earth's surface.
2 What is the angles per percentage of contacts
Vertical/useful
Conduct your own poll. How many remote BCB's can you copy for each?
3 Are they all horizontally polarised when subject to skip?
for distances over say 1000 miles distance
160M skip? Perform poll above.
One well known DXer (Tom) stated on this
newsgroup that a horizontal dipole at 1/2 wave
length was inferior to his other antennas, but
no specifics given!
He was being generous.
Appreciate any pointers on the above.
Think local, act global.
