[TowerTalk] 2 el yagi question

That's incorrect.

The height above ground will determine the angle of maximum radiation,  
which will be different than for the dipole alone.

He said the dipole was oriented E-W ... so South/North would be  
maximum radiation for the dipole.

Side rejection is irrelevant to his question.
