* Richard, thank you for that. I stand by what I have stated in several
places earlier in this thread, that if tipping-over a monopole or dipole
results in more gain in one direction then that will be counteracted by
less
gain in another direction (i.e. azimuth) as your eznec pattern
illustrates.
There is also the question of polarisation purity.

Equilibrium is when there is no gain. When this occurs there is
polarisation purity.
Gain is not a factor in equilibrium so why muddy up the question. Or
is that being arrogant
because you disagree with me LOL


* I don't suppose it's arrogant to present reasoning derived from the work
of those who have provided practical antenna designs for the masses for a
century or more - it's just a case of reminding the readers of this NG
what's already out there, freely available for them to investigate (as
though most of them didn't already know!).

I do suppose it's arrogant to present new, unproven, possibly paraphysical,
attempts at 'explanation' involving poorly-defined terms like 'equilibrium',
in opposition to the conventional working and expecting those who read this
NG to believe them, when the full working appears to be withheld.
