Hi Mark,
That would seem to indicate you seriously unbalanced the antenna by
the side feed which is geometrically unbalanced. *For instance, the
line doesn't lead off horizontally for any great distance, does it?
Of course, this all hinges on what you mean by not "near as well."
Not sure.. I don't the the position of the feed line should
have been a problem, but it's been so long since I tried it,
I forgot what happened. I just seem to remember trying it
one time, and stuck with the bottom feed.
I'll have to try it again later. I could use my circular 16 inch
dia loop. It's small enough I can easily hold it and shift the
polarization just by rotating it.
