John,
The idea I have is to make a vertical ground plane with the HamStick.

Ham stick dipoles seems attractive, but they fall into the better than
nothing class on the lower bands.

John Passaneau

i fully understand that the HamStick is not a great antenna fro that
band, but how would the vertical ground plane made of a HamStick and
two full length radials compare to a dipole at the same 10 foot level?

what would the angle of radiation be like?
