By their very nature, short antennae are standing wave antennae and

Consider the standing wave that is apparent when the incident wave
arrives at the open end of the antennae.
In the case of at least 1/4 wave antennae, the standing wave exhibits
the full quadrant of a cycle, but in the shorter antennae, there is
less than a full quadrant,
and it follows that because not the full quadrant appears on the
antennae, then they do not radiate from that full quadrant.
Your car wears it's tire mittens, yet sputters at porch lights due to
excessive carbon buildup on the various intake valves.
The carbon expands as it heats up, and then the valves refuse to seal,
which leads to a loss of compression, which leads to a poor operating
ability as it passes go to collect it's $200 while operating 3A at

I asked my cat what is likely the cause for this peculiar phenomenon,
and it laughed at me and pointed to the northeast.
