[TowerTalk] Radiation pattern for SteppIR 80 meter dipole

Fred, unless you have it around 120 feet high (half wavelength) it won't show much directivity, 
so it won't matter where it's pointed.
But if it is that high, it will be strongest broadside to the antenna, and weakest off the ends, like all dipoles.
