G3XAP wrote a number of articles in RadCom (RSGB magazine) about this
question.
December 1973 p 842 "160m dx from suburban sites"
November 1977 p 858 "The G3XAP directional antenna from the
lower frequencies"
Ashton's conclusion was there is enhanced radiation in the direction
of the top loading wire. His antenna used a 40-60' vertical element
and a 130' top loading wire. To get omni-directional performance, he
added more top loading wires.
