I've noted that most measurements of gain, be they 'raw' or 'net', are based on Total Gain, rather than Horizontal Gain. (Or better yet, separate measurements of both.)
Has polarity become immaterial?
This question was triggered by the Popular Science "V" antenna, where the 'problem' of it having a narrow horizontal beamwidth was 'solved' by rotating it 90 degrees. Since this antenna appears to be highly loaded to one polarity, does not this rotation destroy the antenna's effectiveness?
