Default Verticals versus Horizontal Dipoles

Hi Reg

Interesting stuff

I wonder however if you have any hard data on the merits of using one
polarization over another in an electrically noisy environment. For
years I have believed (but never seen proof) that on average horizontal
is better for this.

Any comments? If it is horiz, why? Is it indeed the high radiation angle
missing local noise makers or something else..?
