Hello

As far as I know , you have to tilt the antenna to get the right
reveiving curve/ angle. for distant stations it is good to receive low
incoming signals . By tilting this is achieved.

I use a 17 meter long T2FD for over 10 years and it is a antenna which
not gives a high signal level but a clean signal!

I see this as an advantage

Greetings Han, the netherlands


Tilting the antenna (assuming the average height remains the same) does not
alter the takeoff angle (or elevation of the main lobe).
Download the demo version of EZNEC and you can see this for yourself.
The elevation angle is purely a function of height above ground of the
current loop(s).
