Hi there Jim. Hope you are doing well and staying safe.

Fortunately for me I live out in the country and while there is a farm house etc that can sometimes generate some noise for the most part (knock on wood) I do not have any noise issues.

When I modeled the antenna sure enough the crippled antenna showed a beautiful, almost perfect bi-directional pattern. The front lobe was a dB or so stronger than the rear but I loved running the antenna that way. It was many years before I fixed it

Hi Gedas,

The only important reason for "fixing" it would be reducing RX noise.
