As the number of FM radios in cars surpassed the number of 'home' sets, the broadcasters shifted to the vertical orientation - to send a clear signal to the automobiles - thus today, you can usually get a better signal from mounting a dipole in a vertical orientation....

Seem to be doing fine with the vertical positioning.
Do you think there is "anything" that would be gained with the horizontal orientation?
onemug,
It may be possible that a distant or station that is on the edge of the 'line-of-sight' path from transmitter to your antenna could benefit from the horizontal orientation - but not likely - the next big gain would be height - above the ground and after that - it is Timbo's Rhombic...
I am trying to get a Rhombic set up but struggling between WAF and HOA regs....
Happy tuning!
Sounds good. Guess my scope isn't hiding anything. :-)
