Dear Topband Aficionados - 
 
I could use a little help.  I am currently using a 60 foot base loaded
vertical, with an 8" diameter coil made of copper tubing.  I know top
loading gives much better efficiency. The problem is, my lot won't allow
the two top loading wires to be in the same plane, so they won't cancel
the high angle radiation. I know there is a lot of info missing here but
generally, am I likely to see significant improvement over the base
loaded vertical if I use top loading but the wires are spaced 120
degrees instead of 180 degrees?  
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
73,
 
Bob/AA6VB
