Of course as 12SA7 does the same. A friend and I discovered the same
thing when I was in high school. I ran it to my DX antenna at the time
which consisted of 3 sides of a triangle, each 60-70' long, set up so I
could swicth them in and out, so I switched them all in - probably
created an absolutely awful pattern, but it didn't even get 5 miles ;-{
