Horizontal Configuration
Inverted V Configuration
Antenna Orientation
The orientation of the antenna at the site is vitally important.
In Horizontal configuration, the radiation is broadside to the antenna i.e. if transmissions need to travel in a predomi
-
nantly North-South direction, the antenna should be set up with the ends pointing East-West.

For Inverted V, the antenna becomes more suitable for NVIS, with radiation being directed at high angles, but omnidirec-
tional around the antenna on a horizontal plane.
