This is the pattern that the engineer from DB was explaining to me. The way he described it, for example, if two dipoles are east and the other two west, maximum gain would be north and south. But not much gain, less than 1 db gain north and south. Barely worth it. Seems counter-intuitive, but I made sure that I properly understood at the time what he was explaining. The way he put it-- north and south both "see" all four dipoles so both directions get something from all four of them. It would be VERY interesting if someone good with EZNEC or other modeling program would run some of these configurations, plus others not <in the book>, would it not? Laryn K8TVZ
