I thought Danny's calculations had already conceded
your point.

Because the trees then act as part of the end-hat circuit
which is a good thing

This is somewhere between incoherent and grasping at
straws, so again, I will consider the point made.

Trees are part of the world that provides capacitance
for the ends of dipoles.

Great, this is progress...

No, this is humor.

But I assume you will acknowledge that there are quite a
few other amateur stations that want to be unrestricted in
azimuth.

Of course, that's why I suggested the two 24 foot wires hanging
down from the ends of the 130 ft. dipole as a way to cause the
dipole to beat the vertical in any and all directions and by
as much as 6 dB in four directions.
