- Does anyone know all the factors that affect the angle of radiation from a horizontal dipole. Height being one of course, but are there others that raise or lower the angle and /or broaden or narrow

- Not to be glib, but the answer is yes, hundreds and hundreds of people have studied this. Such studies, from both a theoretical and experimental standpoint, form the basis for such useful programs as

- The two largest factors affecting the take-off angle of a horizontal dipole are the height above ground and the terrain surrounding your antenna. NEC based and similar programs will give you informat

- Jerry brings up a very good point.. NEC will give you the antenna pattern, but doesn't deal with far field effects. Not only uneven terrain, but varying soil properties, not to mention houses, trees,
