Topband: A small point

While the consensus is that vertical antennas seem best for
DXpeditions, a good number go into the field with the Battle
Creek Special.  In that connection, the recent remarks about
power coupling problems with E-W propagation from verticals
at low latitudes would suggest the "flat top" of the BCS be
aligned in the magnetic N-S direction to take advantage of the
large power coupling of N-S horizontal radiators at low latitudes.
