Topband: WB6RSE Flag type loop question

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Mike, 


A horizontally polarized loop -- or any other horizontally polarized 
160 meter antenna -- has extremely poor sensitivity when installed 
less than about 0.1 wavelenght above the ground. Even if you raise 
a horizontally polarized loop to about 0.1 wavelength (50 feet on 160 
meters) it will be a poor antenna for DXing because of its insensitivity 
to low angles of arrival.

Has anyone tried a loop like this in the Horizontal plane? I suppose 
if one had an AZ mount they could try it from horizontal to Vertical. 

His flag build was in the July 2015 QST.
