Tnxs for that Reg

What is the generally accepted "number" in either S points or dB of
employing horizontal instead of vertical for noise reasons? Obviously it
would vary greatly but any idea you have would be helpful. I would also
like to get an idea how "critical" it is to make sure ones antenna truly
is horizontal (eg not an inverted V or quad loop) if noise is the
greatest concern.

One would assume you also get a similar affect of "less horizontal
noise" from the actual noise source for the same reason. eg power lines
radiate well upwards but not so well in groundwave.
