The patterns of all antennas are three-dimensional, and it's well known 
that various forms of propagation causes wavefronts to arrive at 
horizontal and vertical angles that vary with time. ON4UN's book has a 
lot of great stuff about this. N6RO, an old hand on 160M and proprietor 
of a contesting superstation, patches many of his dozens of antennas to 
the operating position for 160M contests to supplement his Beverages for 
use as RX antennas.
