[TowerTalk] Topband: 4SQ antennas directions

[Jim Brown]

I agree. And another question -- "will a vertical or horizontal antenna 
be more effective and your QTH?" Take a look at

Vertically polarized antennas are strongly dependent on the quality of 
the soil, while horizontally polarized antennas are not.  If you have 
poor soil (rocky, or sandy) you don't want a vertical on most bands 
(except 160M).
