[TowerTalk] Cob Web Antenna

[Martin Sole]

I think the Cobweb(b) antenna is an excellent antenna for limited space 
with usefulness as a second antenna for those with a bit more space. 
I've seen a lot of discussion about its use in the horizontal plane from 
20m-6m. I have a couple of questions that might have simple answers.

What happens when such an antenna is mounted vertically?

Assuming vertical mounting is not massively detrimental, what happens 
when a second passive element of similar shape is added at a distance, 
ala 2 element yagi/quad?

Most of the Cobweb style antennas I have seen stop at 20m yet they would 
seem an ideal way to get reasonable size antennas on 30/40m, I don't 
consider a full size 20m quad loop overly big. What's the catch?
