I agree. And another question -- "will a vertical or horizontal antenna
be more effective and your QTH?" Take a look at
http://k9yc.com/VertOrHorizontal-Slides.pdf
Vertically polarized antennas are strongly dependent on the quality of
the soil, while horizontally polarized antennas are not. If you have
poor soil (rocky, or sandy) you don't want a vertical on most bands
(except 160M).

I would ask a slightly different question first:
Is a 4 square even the right antenna to be using from CX ?
What would you work at 135 and 225 degrees ?
There are other vertical antenna configurations that might give better
performance in just two directions (45 and 315).
