Incorrectly mounted dipole antenna

Post by OldskoolPirate » Mon Feb 29, 2016 9:42 am

has anyone got any advice on antenna positioning for the half wave vertical dipole, is there any right or wrong way to mount ? As it is omnidirectional. I would like to see some radiation patterns of a badly mounted antenna but I cannot find any on google for the dipole. Thanks
