Hi Steve,

Thanks for the azimuth plot. This was just what I was looking for.

It would be useful to have azimuth plots for 40 and 80 for this antenna;
if for nothing else than a starting point.

Rick,

On 80m it's almost omni-directional; worst-case eccentricity is around
4.5dB at 26 degrees elevation angle. The preferred directions are
broadside.

On 40m the pattern is more complex. At medium elevation angles (40-70
degrees) end-to-end is slightly better than broadside; at lower
elevation angles the pattern develops into 4 lobes NE/NW/SE/SW
(ssuming the antenna runs N-S)

Hope that helps,

Steve G3TXQ
