Must agree with Tom's comments. Many years ago, DXers followed the
notion that "higher is better" and included verticals in that thinking.
>From whence came the saying "Verticals radiate equally poorly in all
directions".
I believe the next significant improvement in verticals will come
from extensive investigations into the lengths of the radials, as
an article from Communications Quarterly stated earlier.
