Cecil, verticals are essentially useless...

Now Art, don't misquote me. My QTH has terrible vertically polarized
power line noise all over town which it didn't have 50 years ago when
I was first licensed. In the early 50's, I used a vertical and it
worked well enough to WAS except for Idaho.

I am not down on verticals in general. I am down on verticals at my QTH.
Virtually every power pole with a transformer drowns out a 10kw AM
station 30 miles away on a car radio.
