No "signal cancellation" occurs at any angle. Except for conductor loss,
every watt of power you feed into it is radiated, regardless of the
angle. What does happen at narrow angles is that the radiation
resistance drops, which can increase loss, although it typically has to
drop quite a bit before the increase is significant. It also narrows the
antenna's bandwidth, so you'd have to retune after a smaller frequency
change.

OK, but I'm concerned that at 90 degrees or less some kind of signal
cancellation can occur. True?

Probably preferable to have them 100 degrees or better angle?

Thanks,

Chuck
