* but any good dipole has a null off the end, so you really need two at
right angles to work both S and W. With dipoles, the only thing that
really matters is the nulls off the ends.**

Can't the end null of dipoles be mitigated by putting up the dipole in a
slight 120 degree V configuration. Although I have never seen this
modeled for HF, I understand this is how broadcast FM antennas are
designed to get an omni directional pattern. The same concept should
work at HF as well. Right?
