I read that an AM BCB radio station transmits through a vertical antenna.
If this is true why does the signal diminish when i turn the ferrite rod
antenna & radio receiver in a vertical position?

I think you are confusing the polarity of the ferrite rod with the polarity
of the E field of the ferrite rod antenna- they are not the same.

A classic non-answer, I think!

If someone asks question like this, I reckon that they probably know
nothing about E and H fields, and I would attempt to give a simple (but
essentially factual) answer using layman's terms.

So, Dale Parfitt, maybe you would like to have another try?
