[TowerTalk] EZNEC- needs improvement

[Peter Voelpel]

Sure it does, at about -3,8dbi of gain.
Above all other ground except above saltwater the dipol will outperform the
vertical in its broadside direction

I'm sorry I've failed to convince you. I'll now leave it for others to judge
whether or not a dipole with your published elevation response will respond
to signals arriving at 5 degrees!
