Default The ultimate tilted monopole

In the case of a single monopole mounted with its base at earth level,
adding tilt to it makes very little difference in its gain at
elevation angles up to +60 degrees or so, at any azimuth. It does
partially fill the elevation null at the zenith produced by the
vertical monopole, as well as to produce a small amount of h-pol
radiation over most of the compass.

Modeling this in NEC for a 1 MHz, 1/4-wave, straight monopole by
moving its top 10 meters out of plumb changed its peak gain by about
0.01 dB compared to the untilted version, at any azimuth.

Gain has never been as issue in tipping the radiator except for some
who which to interject it.
Pointing's vector shows a radiation patterm that is spherical and in a
state of equilibrium
It is not the radiation pattern of a donut which all are familiar
with. Thus if one wants coverage in all directions one must pursue an
array or conductor in equilibrium.


The "donut" is a red herring. It's a visualization, not a blob of RF
coming off the antenna. All antennas radiate in all directions. Some
directions are higher intensity than others, but all directions none the
less. The donut just exists to help us put a number on what is happening.


rotation is an essential property
of the Universe as fracture of an arbitrary boundary is created by two
forces which are not on a common plane. This is a shear force which
also creates torque or spin ,so it stands to reason that the other
force in combination with gravity is a force of torque or rotation.
If Coriolis is not that vector what other characteristic fits the
bill?


So Coriolis needs re-defined also as not a mechanical *effect*, but as
an electrical *force* that compels objects or energy to rotate.

I'll not be so beholden to summarily reject what you are saying, but
what you are talking about wold have to be something other than Coriolis
effect, it would have to be a as yet undefined and un named force.
