OK, let's ignore the fact that I said "horizontally polarized". My
co-worker assumed my antenna is "horizontally polarized" because it is
physically oriented that way. Regardless, I'm sure everyone
understands his question.
BTW - The reason he asked was because he had been told by a very well
known and respected industry expert that verticals over water were the
best radiators. I explained to him that yes, verticals over salt
water are very good, but not many hams live over salt water so most of
us use yagi's.
